Question

What is the value of x in the equation below? -3-(-8)-(-2) = x O -13 ) -9 O3 )7

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$-3-\left(-8\right)-\left(-2\right)\:=\:x$

switch sides

$x=-3-\left(-8\right)-\left(-2\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a$

$x=-3+8+2$

$\mathrm{Add/Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-3+8+2=7$

$x=7$

Thus, the value of x = 7
