Answer:
No,the correct answer of this equation would be 6
Step-by-step explanation:
As we saw,2x is positive and 8x is negative so when signs are opposite they subtract.So 8x-2x=6x
=6x-3=33
=6x=33+3
=6x=36
=x=36/6
=x=6

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Ashanti didn't tranform the equation correctly. Beacause the coefficients of x have opposite signs. Hence they has to subtract not addition.
b) given linear equation is
2x - 3 - 8x = 33
Now we need to transform linear equation as
(2-8) x - 3 = 33 ➡️ - 6x - 3 = 33
But Ashanti transferd it into 10x-3=33 that is the error
Now continue to solution
- 6x = 33 + 3
- 6x = 36
x = - 36 / 6
x = - 6
