Hi!

<h3>We need to isolate x on both sides, and whatever we do to the equation we have to do to both sides. </h3><h3>First, add 8 to both sides. </h3>

2x - 8 + 8 = -6 + 8

2x = 2

<h3>Divide by 2 on both sides</h3>

2x/2 = 2/2

<u>x = 1</u>

<h2>The answer is x = 1</h2>

Hope this helps! :)

Hi,

We start out with our equation, 2x – 8 = – 6

then add 8 to each side, 2x-8+8=-6+8

simplify, 2x=2

divide both sides by 2, 2x/2 = 2/2

simplify again, x=1

Have a great day!

Answer:

179

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of animals in the river was 632.

A herd of 187 elephants and 266 zebras left the river area.

Adding them up, the total number of animals that left the river area is:

187 + 266 = 453

Therefore, the total number of animals left at the river area is the subtraction for the animals that left the river area from the number of animals that were there initially:

632 - 453 = 179
