​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-2=x-8

7x-x=2-8

6 x= -6

x= -1

Verification :-

7(-1) -2= (-1) -8

-7-2= -1 -8

-9= -9

hence, verified.

Answer 2

Answer:

$7x - 2 = x - 8$

$7x - x = - 8 + 2$

$6x = - 6$

$x = \frac{ - 6}{6}$

$x = - 1$

Now if we substitute the value of x in the expression

$7x - 2 = x - 8$

$7 \times ( - 1) - 2 = - 1 - 8$

$- 7 - 2 = - 1 - 8$

$- 9 = - 9$

LHS = RHS

hence verified
