Electric current? Why is the thing math lol.
Yes it is possible because integers start at one, and do not include negative numbers while whole numbers are any numbers that are not a fraction or decimal.
-2(x + 3) = 8
Multiply -2 with x and 3
-2x -6 = 8
Now add 6 to both sides
-2x -6 = 8
+6 +8
-2x = 16
Lastly divide -2 from both sides to find x
-2x = 16
—— —-
-2x -2x
X = -8
I would use subsitution
y=x-7
sub x-7 for every x
5x+2(x-7)=14
5x+2x-14=14
add 14 to both sides
7x=28
divide both sides by 7
x=4
sub
y=x-7
y=4-7
y=-3
x=4
y=-3
(4,-3)
