Question

-85 - 8x =2x + 115 anyone know how to do this??

Answer 1

-85 - 8x = 2x + 115
-85 + 85 - 8x = 2x + 115 + 85
-8x = 2x + 200
-8x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 200
-10x = 200
-10x/-10 = 200/-10
X = -20

Answer 2

Answer: x= -20

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 85 85 to both sides.

-8x=2x+115+85−8x=2x+115+85

Simplify  2x+115+852x+115+85  to  2x+2002x+200.

-8x=2x+200−8x=2x+200

Subtract 2x2x from both sides.

-8x-2x=200−8x−2x=200

Simplify  -8x-2x−8x−2x  to  -10x−10x.

-10x=200−10x=200

Divide both sides by -10−10.

x=-\frac{200}{10}x=−
