Question

-16 + 2x = -32 + 8x
X =​

Answer 1

`x=(8)/(3)`

Explanation:

Add 16 to both sides:

2x = -16 + 8x

Subtract 8x from both sides

-6x = -16

Divide by negative -6

x = 8/3

Answer 2

x = 8/3

Explanation:

-16 + 2x = -32 + 8x

Subtract 2x from each side

-16 + 2x-2x = -32 + 8x-2x

-16 = -32 + 6x

Add 32 to each side

-16+32 = -32+32 +6x

16 = 6x

Divide by 6

16/6 = 6x/6

8/3 =x
