Question

8x−2=−11+7x +2
Please help me!!

Answer 1

x=-7

Explanation:

8x - 2 = -11 + 7x + 2

First, separate the terms: move x to one side

subtract 7x from both sides

8x -7x - 2 = -11 + 7x -7x + 2

x - 2 = -11 + 2

Now get x by itself by adding 2 to both sides

x - 2 +2 = -11 + 2 +2

x = -11 + 4

simplify

x = -7
