Answer:

-18/5 or - 3 3/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

-2/3 (x-3) - x = 8

-2/3x + 2 - x = 8

-2/3x - 3/3x = 8 - 2

-5/3 x = 6

x = 6 * -3/5

x = -18/5

Solving for each equation:

A: True.

$\frac{n}{2} +3 *4 = \frac{n}{2}+12\\\\\frac{n}{2} + 12 = \frac{n}{2} + 12$

B: False.

$\frac{1}{3}z+\frac{2}{3}z * 9 = 9z\\\\\frac{1}{3} z+6z = 9z$

C: True, given that y = 1

$-8y +4.3y + 3.7 = 0\\\\-3.7y = -3.7$

D: True, given that b = 6.66667

$12-1.8b+1.8b=1.8b\\12 = 1.8b$

E: True.

$\frac{m}{8} + 7(\frac{m}{8} ) =m\\\\\frac{m}{8} + (\frac{7m}{8} )= m\\\\\\\frac{8m}{8} = m\\$

Whats the answer for -7x -3x+2= -8x-8

exis [7]

We can simplify it by combining like terms
We get -7x -3x = -10x and -10x+8x = -2x
then we get -2x + 2 = -8
-2x = -10
x = 5
