Answer 1

The equation given in the question is

8x - 2(x + 1) = 7x + 8
8x - 2x - 2 = 7x + 8
6x - 2 = 7x + 8
6x - 7x = 8 + 2
- x = 10
x = - 10
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option. I hope that this is the answer that has come to your desired help.
