Question

-8-x= x - 4x
Can u help me know the answer please and I need to show my work

Answer 1

x= -4

Explanation:

-8 -x= x -4x

Simplify:

`- 8 - x = - 3x`

Bring all x terms to 1 side by adding x on both sides:

`- 8 = - 3x + x`

Simplify:

`- 8 = - 2x \\ - 2x = 8`

Divide both sides by -2:

`x = (8)/( - 2) \\ x = - 4`
