Question

N. -2x - 40 = 8(1 -x)​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

−2x−40=8(1−x)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2x−40=8(1−x)

−2x+−40=(8)(1)+(8)(−x)(Distribute)

−2x+−40=8+−8x

−2x−40=−8x+8

Step 2: Add 8x to both sides.

−2x−40+8x=−8x+8+8x

6x−40=8

Step 3: Add 40 to both sides.

6x−40+40=8+40

6x=48

Step 4: Divide both sides by 6.

$\frac{6x}{6} =\frac{48}{6}$

to get the answer

x=8
