Question

Solve for x 2x=-16 x=

Answer 1

Hey there! 

First, we have to get rid of the "$x$" value

So, Divide "$2$" on each of your sides 

Like:  $\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{-16}{2}$

Cancel out: $\frac{2x}{2}$ because it gives you the value of $1$

Keep: $\frac{-16}{2}$ because it'll give you the outcome of our answer

So, $\frac{-16}{2}$ = $-8$

Therefore, $x = -8$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer 2

Hey there! :)

If you switch it around, it becomes: -16 ÷ 2 = x
(Remember that the sign changes when moved to the other side)

-16 ÷ 2 = -8

x = -8

Hope this helps :)
