Question

Can anybody help me?

I'm on a time crunch.
x + 3= 8x -11

Question 1 options:

x=-1


x=1


x=2


x=4

Answer 1

The answer is X = 2 or option 3

Answer 2

Answer: x = 2

Steps: x + 3= 8x - 11

Subtract three form both sides: x + 3 - 3 = 8x - 11 - 3

Simplify: x = 8x - 14

Subtract 8x from both sides: x - 8x = 8x - 14 - 8x

Simplify: -7x = -14

Divide both sides by negative seven: -7x ÷ -7 = -14 ÷ -7

Simplify: x = 2
