Question

-48=8x+8 solve help please

Answer 1

To solve for x first subtract 8 from both sides of the equation

`\begin{gathered} -48=8x+8 \\ -48-8=8x+8-8 \\ -56=8x \end{gathered}`

Now divide both sides of the equation by 8

`\begin{gathered} (-56)/(8)=(8x)/(8) \\ -7=x \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the solution for this equation is

`x=-7`
