Question

Solve the equation (-8x-58)= (-2x+35)

Answer 1

(-8x-58)= (-2x+35)
add 58 to each side
(-8x)= (-2x+93)
add 2x to each side
(-6x)= (93)
Then divide each side by 6
-x=15.5
multiply by -1 to get positive x
x=(-15.5)

Hope I helped :)

Answer 2

Solve x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

Answer:

x= - 31/2
