Answer 2

Answer:

x = - 7/9 and x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1:

Step 1:

22 + 54x = - 20    Equation

Step 2:

54x = - 42   Subtract 22 on both sides

Step 3:

- 42 ÷ 54   Divide

Answer:

x = - 42/54 or - 7/9

Equation 2:

Step 1:

- 5x - 16 = 8x - 3   Equation

Step 2:

- 16 = 13x - 3   Add 5x on both sides

Step 3:

- 13 = 13x   Add 3 on both sides

Step 4:

- 13 ÷ 13   Divide

Answer:

x = - 1
