Question

How do you solve -8 -x = x -4x

Answer 1

x= 4

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Answer 2

hey there

x = 4

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−8−x=x−4x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−8−x=x−4x

−8+−x=x+−4x

−x−8=(x+−4x)(Combine Like Terms)

−x−8=−3x

−x−8=−3x

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

−x−8+3x=−3x+3x

2x−8=0

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

2x−8+8=0+8

2x=8

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = 8/2

x= 4

have a good day!!!
