8+2x≤6x-20

Answer 1

Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

8 + 2x = 6x + -20

Reorder the terms:

8 + 2x = -20 + 6x

Solving

8 + 2x = -20 + 6x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.

8 + 2x + -6x = -20 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 2x + -6x = -4x

8 + -4x = -20 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0

8 + -4x = -20 + 0

8 + -4x = -20

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + -4x = -20 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + -4x = -20 + -8

-4x = -20 + -8

Combine like terms: -20 + -8 = -28

-4x = -28

Divide each side by '-4'.

x = 7

Simplifying

x = 7
