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!

 1mi = 1609.34m
 Applying the conversion we have:
 2941526 * (1609.34 / 1) ^ 2 = 7.61848E + 12 m ^ 2

Erika is working on solving the exponential equation 50x = 17; however, she is not quite sure where to start. Using complete sen
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by 50 and you'll get x=17/50

If x is the exponent than we can take the natural log of both sides.

x(ln)50=ln(17)

Then divide ln50 on both sides

x=ln17/ln50= 0.72423228087
