Answer:
The answer is incorrect because 12 should be negative not positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 19 + -31 = - 12
2. Twelve is negative because if you were to start off at -31 and add 19 the answer would remain negative since -31 in a sense is "bigger" than 19. You would need more of a positive number to make -31 positive such as 40.
40+ -31 = 9
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-2x + 8 = 18
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Subtract 8 on both sides: -2x = 10
- Divide both sides by -2: x = -5
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
-2(-5) + 8 = 18
10 + 8 = 18
18 = 18
