Answer:


  • \sf \sf x= 5

Explanation:


\sf \cfrac{-8-2x}{3}=-6

Multiply both sides by 3:-


\sf \cfrac{-8-2x}{3}* 3=-6* 3

Simplify :-


\sf -8-2x=-18

Add 8 to both sides:-


\sf -8-2x+8=-18+8

Simplify :-


\sf -2x=-10

Divide both sides by -2:-


\sf \cfrac{-2x}{-2} =\cfrac{-10}{-2}

Simplify :-


\sf x= 5

Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:


(-8-2x)/(3) = - 6 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

- 8 - 2x = 3 × - 6 = - 18 ( add 8 to both sides )

- 2x = - 10 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x =
(-10)/(-2) = 5
