Question

I need help please thank you

Answer 1

The correct answer is x = -4

Explanation:

Step 1: 8x + 1 = -31 <----- This is the original equation.

Step 2: 8x + 1 - 1 = -31 - 1 <----- Subtract 1 from both sides.

Step 3: 8x = -32 <----- Simplify

Step 4: 8x/8 = -32/8

x = -4

Hope this helps! :D

Answer 2
