Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 8 = 18

Subtract 8 from each side

-2x + 8-8 = 18-8

-2x = 10

Divide each side by -2

-2x/-2 = 10/-2

x = -5

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-2x + 8 = 18

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Subtract 8 on both sides: -2x = 10
  2. Divide both sides by -2: x = -5

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

-2(-5) + 8 = 18

10 + 8 = 18

18 = 18

Solve the equation. Check your solution. - 6y + 5 = 29y - 2​
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

y = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-6y + 5 = 29y + -2

Reorder the terms:

5 + -6y = 29y + -2

Reorder the terms:

5 + -6y = -2 + 29y

Solving

5 + -6y = -2 + 29y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-29y' to each side of the equation.

5 + -6y + -29y = -2 + 29y + -29y

Combine like terms: -6y + -29y = -35y

5 + -35y = -2 + 29y + -29y

Combine like terms: 29y + -29y = 0

5 + -35y = -2 + 0

5 + -35y = -2

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

5 + -5 + -35y = -2 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + -35y = -2 + -5

-35y = -2 + -5

Combine like terms: -2 + -5 = -7

-35y = -7

Divide each side by '-35'.

y = 0.2

Simplifying

y = 0.2
