Question

Solve for x -22=5x +8

Answer 1

Subtract 8 from both side and you get -30=5x and then divide both sides by 5 and you will get x=-6

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Isolate the "5x" by subtracting 8 on both sides.

$(-8)-22=5x+8(-8)\\-30=5x$

2.) Isolate the "X" by dividing both sides by 5

$-30=5x\\\frac{30}{(5)} =\frac{5x}{(5)} \\-6=x$
