Question

Find the solution of the equation:

−6x−2x=5
. None of these
. 516
. −516
. −58
. 58

Answer 1

To solve the equation -6x - 2x = 5, we can combine like terms on the left side:

-8x = 5

Then, we can isolate x by dividing both sides by -8:

x = -5/8

Therefore, the solution to the equation -6x - 2x = 5 is x = -5/8.
