Question

-7x-3x+2=-8x-2 can you please show your work how

Answer 1

`\sf \: x = 2`

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

The equation is,

→ -7x - 3x + 2 = -8x - 2

Then the value of x will be,

→ -7x - 3x + 2 = -8x - 2

→ -10x + 2 = -8x - 2

→ -10x + 8x = -2 - 2

→ -2x = -4

→ 2x = 4

→ x = 4 ÷ 2

→ [ x = 2 ]

Hence, the value of x is 2.

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

Given

- 7x - 3x + 2 = - 8x - 2 ← simplify left side

- 10x + 2 = - 8x - 2 ( add 8x to both sides )

- 2x + 2 = - 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- 2x = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 2
