Is this equation solvable?

 I'm a business owner trying to back into a variable in a budget.  Is it possible to solve for x without resorting to plugging in numbers till one works?
y+(y*0.1)=$7,977

So, Toby, it is impossible to solve for x in an equation with no x.

Ha, of course.  Let me try again:
x+(x*0.1)=$7,977
