Answer:
[B] - 1/3
Explanation:
Given:
-8x-5(1-x)=6x-2
Solve:
Expand : -8x - 5(1-x) : -3x -5
-3x - 5 = 6x -2
Add 5 to both sides (Balance)
-3x-5+5=6x-2+5
Simplify
-3x = 6x + 3
subtract 6x to both sides (Balance)
-3x - 6x = 6x +3 -6x
Simplify
-9x = 3
Divide both sides by -9 (Balance)
-9x/-9=3/-9
Simplify
x = -1/3
