Question

Can someone explain to me how to solve this equation
15x +-6 = 8​

Answer 1

You would start by adding six on both sides, which cancels out the negative 6 and then makes the 8 a 14.

15x = 14

Then you would divide each side by 15 which cancels out the 15 on the left leaving you with x on the left and 14/15 on the right.

X = 14/15 < Fraction

Answer 2

x=0.933333

Explanation:

First you add 6 to both sides of the equation

15x - 6 + 6 = 8 +6

That gives you 15x = 14

Then you divide 15 on both sides of the equation

That gives you x = 14/15 = 0.93333
