Answer:
x = 9
Explanation:
type out the words into numbers
18 - 8x = -6x
add 6x on both sides
18 - 2x = 0
subtract 18 on both sides
-2x = -18
divide by -1
2x = 18
divide by 2
Hey there!
18 minus 8 times a number is equal to -6 times the number.
Let's take the number as 'x'. So, the equation we can form = 18 - 8x = -6x
Now, let's solve for x.
18 = -6x + 8x
18 = 2x
18/2 = x
9 = x
Hope it helps ya!
