Question

Can someone please help

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Equation: 2x+6 = -2x-2

Solution: x = -2

2) Equation: 2 = -8-1x

Solution: x = -10

3) Equation: 3x-2 = 4

Solution: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Add the "x" and "1" boxes on each side to form 2x+6 = -2x-2.

2x+6 = -2x-2

Add 2 to the -2 on the right and to the 6 on the left, making it:

2x+8 = -2x

Subtract 2x from the 2x on the left and -2x on the right, making it:

8 = -4x

Divide -4 on both sides, making the answer:

x = -2

2) Add the 1's, x's, and -x's on both sides, making it:

2 = -8-1x

Then add 8 on both sides, making it:

10 = -1x

Divide -1 on both sides, making the answer=

x = -10

3) Individually add the boxes on each side, making it:

3x-2 = 4

Add 2 on both sides, making it:

3x = 6

Divide 3 on both sides, making the answer=

x = 2
