Question

-3+8×-5=-8 what is x

Answer 1

Answer: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 +8x -5 =-8

Combine common numbers.

8x -8=-8

Add positive 8 to both sides. Doing the opposite of what's in front of the number.

8x=0

Then divide 8 from 8. Doing the opposite of what 8x is doing. (Multiplying) If you do it to one side you have to do it to the other side.

x=0

Anything times or divided by 0 equals 0

So the answer is x=0

Answer 2

-3+8x-5=-8

Move the non x terms to the right:

8x = -8+5+3

8x= 0

x=0
