Question

Solve the equation.
8-2x=-8x+14

Answer 1

x = 1

Explanation:

8-2x=-8x+14

8 - 2x + 2x = -8x + 2x + 14

8 = -6x + 14

-6x + 14 - 14 = 8 - 14

-6x = -6

(-6x)/(-6) = (-6)/(-6)

x = 1

Answer 2

x = 1

Explanation:

8 - 2x = -8x + 14

combine like terms:

- 2x + 8x = 14 -8

simplify:

6x = 6

x = 6/6

x = 1
