Question

Solve 2-3x=-x-8 i need help on this question i cant solve this

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by adding $3x$ to both sides, giving $2-3x+3x=-x+3x-8$, which after simplifying gives $2=2x-8$.

We then add $8$ to both sides, giving $2+8=2x-8+8$, which after simplifying gives $10=2x$.

We can then divide both sides by $2$, giving $10/2=2x/2$, which after simplifying gives $5=x$, or $x=5$. So, x is 5.
