Answer 2

Hey there!

Answer = 2(x = 2)

Explanation:

Question:

2 - 8x = -14

Simplify both sides of the equation:

2 - 8x = -14

2 + -8x = -14

-8x + 2 = -14

Subtract two from both sides:

-8x + 2 - 2 = -14 - 2

-8x = -16

Divide both sides by -8:

$\frac{-8x}{-8}= \frac{-16}{8}$

x = 2

So therefore, that is how you found your answer: x = 2
