Answer
Step-by-step explanation:x=7+y=2
(x+5)*(-2) = 6
distribute
-2x -10 = 6
add 10 to each side
-2x -10 +10 = 6+10
-2x = 16
divide by -2
-2x/-2 = 16/-2
x = -8
The number is -8
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
First divide 3 from both sides.
Then minus 8 which makes it 0.
Finally, pull the x to the other side giving you x=4
