Question

-2/5x+6=8 can you help me

Answer 1

If you would like to solve the equation - 2/5 * x + 6 = 8, you can do this using the following steps:

- 2/5 * x + 6 = 8
- 2/5 * x = 8 - 6
- 2/5 * x = 2    /*(-5/2)
x = 2 * (- 5/2)
x = - 5

The correct result would be -5.

Answer 2

$- \frac{2}{5} x+6=8$
Common denominator is 5
$\frac{(-2)x}{5} +6=8$

$5( \frac{(-2)x}{5} +6)=5*8$
Distributhing 5 through parentheses
$\frac{ \not5(-2)x}{ \not5} +5*6=5*8$
$(-2)x+5*6=5*8$
$(-2)x+30=5*8$
$-2x+30=40$
$-2x=40-30$
$-2x=10 /: -2$
$x=-5$
The answer is: $x=-5$
