Question

What is -2x + 8 = -6

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution is x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve for x in the equation

$- 2x + 8 = - 6$

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:

$- 2x + 8 - 8 = - 6 - 8$

Simplify to get:

$- 2x + 0 = - 14$

This implies that:

$- 2x = - 14$

$x = \frac{ - 14}{ - 2}$

$x = 7$
