Question

Two step equations?

-1 = 7 + 8x

Answer 1

Answer: x = -1

Explanation:

Our task is to solve the equation
`\sf{-1=7+8x}`.

First, we should subtract 7 from both sides:

`\sf{-1-7=8x}`

`\sf{-8=8x}`

To get our final answer, we divide both sides by 8:

`\sf{-1=x}`

`\therefore\boxed{\sf{x=-1}}`

Answer 2

x = -1

Explanation:

-1 = 7 + 8x

-1-7=8x

-8=8x

-1=x
