Question

8x - 2 = -9 + 7x
Pls help me

Answer 1

x= -7

Explanation:

First, just add 2 units to both sides of the equation (this would cancel the 2)

Then we get 8x= -7+7x

Next, subtract 7x from both sides to cancel the 7x.

Finally, you get x= -7

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

x = -7

Explanation:

8x - 2 = -9 + 7x

8x - 7x = -9 + 2

x = -7
