Question

What is 8-4-5=-2-10+8

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

$8-4x-5=-2x-10+8x\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\-4x+(8-5)=(-2x+8x)-10\\\\-4x+3=6x-10\qquad\text{subtrac 3 from both sides}\\\\-4x+3-3=6x-10-3\\\\-4x=6x-13\qquad\text{subtract}\ 6x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-4x-6x=6x-6x-13\\\\-10x=-13\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-10)}\\\\\dfrac{-10x}{-10}=\dfrac{-13}{-10}\\\\x=1.3$
