Remember, you can do anything to an equationas long as you do it to both sides
1.
-6+x=-3
add 6 to both sides
6-6+x=6-3
0+x=3
x=3
2.
add like terms
-5a+5a+9=8
0a+9=8
0+9=8
9=8
false

Answer:
The number is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number = 'x'
Reciprocal of 'x' = 1/x
Reciprocal of 2 = 1/2
8 times the reciprocal of 'x' = 

Now multiply both sides by x

Now divide both sides by 2

x = 4
