Question

Solve for x 2x=-16 x=

Answer 1

Hey there!

First, we have to get rid of the "
`x`" value

So, Divide "
`2`" on each of your sides

Like:
`(2x)/(2) = (-16)/(2)`

Cancel out:
`(2x)/(2)` because it gives you the value of
`1`

Keep:
`(-16)/(2)` because it'll give you the outcome of our answer

So,
`(-16)/(2)` =
`-8`

Therefore,
`x = -8`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer 2

Hey there! :)

If you switch it around, it becomes: -16 ÷ 2 = x
(Remember that the sign changes when moved to the other side)

-16 ÷ 2 = -8

x = -8

Hope this helps :)
