Question

What is 6+3(-8x-2)=12

Answer 1

Answer:

=12

Step-by-step explanation:

6+3(-8x-2)=12

Answer 2

     

3(−8x−2)=63(-8x-2)=6

3(−8x−2)=6

3 Divide both sides by  

33

3.

−8x−2=63-8x-2=\frac{6}{3}

−8x−2=

​3

​

​6

​​

4 Simplify  

63\frac{6}{3}

​3

​

​6

​​ to  

22

2.

−8x−2=2-8x-2=2

−8x−2=2

5 Add  

22

2 to both sides.

−8x=2+2-8x=2+2

−8x=2+2

6 Simplify  

2+22+2

2+2  to  

44

4.

−8x=4-8x=4

−8x=4

7 Divide both sides by  

−8-8

−8.

x=−48x=-\frac{4}{8}

x=−

​8
