Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
−2x−40=8(1−x)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−2x−40=8(1−x)
−2x+−40=(8)(1)+(8)(−x)(Distribute)
−2x+−40=8+−8x
−2x−40=−8x+8
Step 2: Add 8x to both sides.
−2x−40+8x=−8x+8+8x
6x−40=8
Step 3: Add 40 to both sides.
6x−40+40=8+40
6x=48
Step 4: Divide both sides by 6.
to get the answer
x=8
