The value of x after solving (2.3x + 8) = (-1.7x-8) is -4.
According to the question,
We have the following expression:
(2.3x + 8) = (-1.7x-8)
Now, moving -1.7x from the right hand side to the left hand side will result in the change of its sign from minus to plus:
2.3x+1.7x +8 = -8
4x+8 = -8
Now, moving 8 from the left hand side to the right hand side will also result in the change of the sign from plus to minus:
4x = -8-8
4x = -16
x = -16/4 (4 was in multiplication on the left hand side. So, it is in division on the right hand side.)
x = -4
Hence, the value of x is -4.
