x=8 explanation: -6 x -8 is 48. and to get rid of the 48 on the left side we need to minus it on both sides. -16 -48= 64. so now the equation looks like 8x=64. to get x by itself we need to divide both sides by 8. 64/8 is 8. so x=8

Answer:

x = -8

Explanation:

I'm guessing you want the value for X given the value of y = -8

8x +6×8 =-16

8x = -64 so X = -8
