Which value of x makes this equation true? -8(x + 5) = -3x − 7 + x − 3

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer: x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 (x + 5) = -3x - 7 + x - 3

First, we use distributive property

-8x - 40 = -3x - 7 + x - 3

Then, we combine like terms.

-3x + x = -2x

-7 + -3 = -10

-8x - 40 = -2x - 10

Add 10 to each side

-8x - 30 = -2x

Add 8x to each side

-30 = 6x

Divide each side by 6

-5 = x

Is -40 the solution to -12=<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bu%7D%7B8%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="\frac{u}{8}" alt="\f
valentinak56 [21]
Answer: Yes -40 is the answer

Explanation:

-12 = u/8 - 7
8(-12)/8 = u/8 - 8(7)/8
-96/8 = u/8 - 56/8
-96 = u - 56
-u = -56 + 96
-u = 40
u = -40

Can someone help me with this math problem
Elis [28]

Answer:

C. Divide both sides of the equation by -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal of the equation is to isolate x. In order to do that we have to remove the '-2' by doing the inverse operation. That is the opposite operation, for example addition and subtraction, multiplication and division.

Since x is being multiplied by -2, we do the inverse which is division.
