Question

Which value is the solution to the equation - 8 = 6-7x?

A. -7
B. - 2
c. 2
D. 5

Answer 1

c: 2

Explanation:

-8 = 6 -7x, isolate the -7 by moving the 6 to the left side of the equation so it becomes -8-6 = -7x --> -14 = -7x and then divide by both sides by -7 and then you get x =2, you can plug in the number back into the equation to make sure

Answer 2

-8=6-7x (subtract 6 from both sides)

-14=-7x (divide each side by -7)

x=2

the answer is C
