Question

8x + 2x - 5 = -35 Can someone help me with this answer and how to show my work?

Answer 1

The answer is X= -3 and the work is 8x+2x-5= -35 so the -5 turns to a positive 5 and cancels itself it out so -35 becomes -30 then you add 8x and 2x then you get get 10x then you divide -30 by 10 and you get -3
