Answer:
<em>-5</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
-31=9+8x
we need to isolate the variable by moving 8x to the left side and -31 to the right side....therefore 8x becomes a negative, -8x, and -31 a positive....so now it would look like...
-8x=9+31
then we work the right side out...
-8x=40
to get x we need to divide -8x by 8 so we do the same to the right side as well....
-8x=40
÷8 ÷8
so...
<em>x=-5</em>
