Question

This 2 step equation is a pain -8×+4=-52​

Answer 1

x=7

Explanation:

-8x+4=-52

First remove the four by subtracting 4 from -52

-8x= -56

Then, you would want the variable (x) by itself, so you divide by -8 (Dividing a negative by a negative makes a positive)

x=7

To confirm this answer is right, plug in 7 as the variable and make sure you get -52

(-8*7)+4= (-52)

Answer 2

6

Explanation:

4-52=48

48÷8=6

this is correct :)
