A) 18 = 7x
B) 8 = 7x - 10
C) 8 - 2x = 5x - 2
D) 8 - 2x = 5x - 10

Answer 1

Hey mate, here is your answer -:)

___________________________

$8 - 2x = 5(x - 2) \\ 8 - 2x = 5x - 10 \\ - 2x - 5x = - 10 - 8 \\ - 7x = - 18 \\ x = \frac{ - 18}{ - 7} \\ x = \frac{18}{7}$

8-2x=5x-2 is not a part of solving the problem

Answer 2

Hola

Here is your answer

8 - 2x = 5x - 10

8 + 10 = 5x + 2x

18 = 7x

Your answer would be option

C. 8 - 2x = 5x - 2

as it's 8 -2x = 5x - 10

and -2 isn't the part while solving .

I hope it helps u !!
