Question

equations 5 x-8=-2x+6
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5x + -8 = -2x + 6

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 5x = -2x + 6

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 5x = 6 + -2x

Solving

-8 + 5x = 6 + -2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2x' to each side of the equation.

-8 + 5x + 2x = 6 + -2x + 2x

Combine like terms: 5x + 2x = 7x

-8 + 7x = 6 + -2x + 2x

Combine like terms: -2x + 2x = 0

-8 + 7x = 6 + 0

-8 + 7x = 6

Add '8' to each side of the equation.

-8 + 8 + 7x = 6 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0

0 + 7x = 6 + 8

7x = 6 + 8

Combine like terms: 6 + 8 = 14

7x = 14

Divide each side by '7'.

x = 2

Simplifying

x = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:
