Question

2) -8(-8x - 6) = -6x – 22

Answer 1

x = -1

Explanation:

-8(-8x - 6) = -6x - 22 {Use distributive property}

(-8) * (-8x) - 6 *(-8) = -6x - 22

64x + 48 = -6x -22 {Add 6x to both sides}

64x + 6x + 48 = -22 {Subtract 48 from both sides}

70x = -22 -48

70x = -70 {Divide both sides by 70}

x = -70/70

x = -1
