Question

what is -8x-8+3(x-2)=-3x+2

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x - 8 + 3(x-2) = -3x + 2     Multiply the parentheses by 3

-8x - 8 + 3x -6= -3x +2        Collect all like terms and Calculate

-5x - 14= -3x + 2                   Move the terms

-5x + 3x = 2 + 14                  Collect all the like terms and Calculate the sum

-2x = 16                                Divide both of the sides by -2

x = -8

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:

           $-8x-8+3(x-2)=-3x+2$

Solving for 'x' by taking the terms of 'x' to one side and constants to the other side:

         $-8x-8+3(x)-3(2)=-3x+2$

           $-8x-8+3x-6=-3x+2$

Adding the like terms:

         $-5x-14=-3x+2$

Adding '$3x$' both sides:

         $-5x+3x-14=-3x+3x+2$

         $-5x+3x-14=2\\\\-2x-14=2$

Adding '$14$' both sides:

            $-2x-14+14=2+14\\\\-2x=16\\\\x=\frac{16}{-2}$

            $x=-8$
