Question

−8−8x = -- 24 what is x?

Answer 1

x = 2

Explanation:

1. Write it out: -8 - 8x = -24
2. Add 8 to each side, so it now looks like this: -8x = -16
3. Divide each side by -8 to cancel out the -8 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 2

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

`x = 2`

Explanation:

Solve for
`x` :

`-8 - 8x = -24`

-Add both side by
`8` :

`-8 + 8 - 8x = -24 + 8`

`- 8x = -16`

- Take
`8x` and divide both sides of the equation:

`(-8x)/(-8) = (-16)/(-8)`

`x = 2`

So, the value of
`x` is
`2`.
