Answer:
x
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the prime factors of each term in order to find the greatest common factor (GCF).
ax - b = c
add b to each side
ax-b +b = c+b
ax = c+b
divide by a
ax/a = (c+b)/a
x = (c+b)/a
Answer: p-8=-16
p=-16+8
p=-8
x= -9
7(x+2)=-49
divide both sides by 7
(x+2)=-7
subtract 2 from both dies
