Question

Which value is a solution of the equation 2 - 8x = -6?

A. 1
B. 1/2
C. -1
D. 8

Answer 1

A.) 1

Explanation:

First change the equation to 2 + ( - 8x ) = -6 so it’s easier to read

Take away 2 from both sides

So now you have -8x = -8

Divide both sides by -8 so you get positive x and 1

x = 1
