solve the equation. 8 - 2x = -8x + 14\nx = -1\nx = -\\frac{3}{5}\nx = \\frac{3}{5}\nx = 1

solve the equation. 8 - 2x = -8x + 14\nx = -1\nx = -\\frac{3}{5}\nx = \\frac{3}{5}\nx = 1

solve the equation. 8 - 2x = -8x + 14\nx = -1\nx = -\\frac{3}{5}\nx = \\frac{3}{5}\nx = 1

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Add 8x to both sides

$8 - 2x+8x=-8x + 14+8x$ $8 + 6x=14$

Step2: Subtract 8 from both sides

$8 + 6x-8=14 - 8$ $6x=6$

Step3: Divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{6}{6}$ $x = 1$

Answer:

$x = 1$
