Answer:

10x + 8 = 3x - 6, 7x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 8 = 3 ( x - 2 ) = 10x + 8 = 3x - 6

subtract 8 from both sides of the equation: 10x + 8 = 3x - 6

10x + 8 - 8 = 3x - 6 - 8

simplify

10x = 3x - 14

subtract 3x from both sides

10x - 3x = 3x - 14 - 3x

simplify

7x =  -14

divide both sides by 2

7x / 2 = -14 / 2

simplify

x = -2

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

10x +8 = 3(x-2)

Distribute

10x +8 = 3x-6

Subtract 3x from each side

10x+8-3x = 3x-6-3x

7x +8 = -6

Subtract 8 from each side

7x+8-8 = -6-8

7x = -14

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = -14/7

x = -2

Solve the equation -6(2a + 7) = -22- 8a
Andru [333]

Answer: a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, open up the brackets, and solve it

-12a -42 = -22 -8a. (-6 x 2a, and -6 x 7)

bring the -8a to the left side, so that all the a’s are together

-12a -42 + 8a = -22 (add -42 on both sides like we did with -8a)

-12a + 8a = -22 + 42

solve

-4a = 20

divide -4 on both sides

a = -5
