Solve for the variable x. Be show to show all of your work and steps in arriving at your answer.

-8 = 6.7 + x

Answer 1

x=14.7

Explanation:

−8=6.7+x

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

6.7+x=−8

Subtract 6.7 from both sides.

x=−8−6.7

Subtract 6.7 from −8 to get −14.7.

x=−14.7

Answer 2
