Question

Find the solution to this equation.

+
-X-8 = -(X + 8)
A
All real numbers
B
No solution

Answer 1

All real numbers

Explanation:

-x -8 = -(x+8)

-(x+8) part should be rewritten -1 (x+8)

-x -8 = -1 (x+8)

-x -8 = -x - 8

0 = 0

infinitely many solutions

so its NOT "No solution"

No solution means different numbers on either side of the equal sign

since there are only 2 answer choices

it must be All real numbers
