Answer:x=−136
Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2+x=
7
8
x−15
2+x=
7
8
x+−15
x+2=
7
8
x−15
Step 2: Subtract 7/8x from both sides.
x+2−

x)=(8)*(−17)
Product means multiplication. Since it's asking you to write an algebraic expression with a variable, w, the answer is 737w.
Answer:
p =2 p=-18
Step-by-step explanation:
|p+8|
-------------- = 5
2
Multiply each side by 2
|p+8|
-------------*2 = 5*2
2
|p+8| =10
There is a positive and a negative solution
p+8=10 p+8=-10
Subtract 8 from each side
p+8-8=10-8 p+8-8=-10-8
p =2 p=-18
