Question

The first inverse operation you would use to solve the equation 2+5x= -8 for x is subtraction. true or false?

Answer 1

Answer:

It would be True

Step-by-step explanation:

2+5x = -8

SUBTACT 2 on both sides and it would look like this:

5x = -8 - (2)

5X= -10

then DIVIDE 5 both side to get "X" ALONE,

x= -10/5

then divide -10 with 5

equal to:

x = -2
