Question

-8-x= x - 4x Can u help me know the answer please and I need to show my work

Answer 1

Answer:

x= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 -x= x -4x

Simplify:

$- 8 - x = - 3x$

Bring all x terms to 1 side by adding x on both sides:

$- 8 = - 3x + x$

Simplify:

$- 8 = - 2x \\ - 2x = 8$

Divide both sides by -2:

$x = \frac{8}{ - 2} \\ x = - 4$
