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
