Question

4x - 2 - 8x = 22

help​

Answer 1

X=-6

Steps:

4x-2-8x=22
4x-8x-2=22. (Combine like terms)
-4x-2(+2)=22 (+2). (Subtract 4x and 8 then add 2 on both sides which will cancel the negative 2)
-4x/-4=24/-4(divide -4 on both sides which leaves x)
X=-6 (answer)

Answer 2

x = -6

Explanation:

4x - 2 - 8x = 22

-4x - 2 = 22

-4x = 24

4x = -24

x = -6
