Question

What is the solution to the equation 3x + 2(x − 9) = 8x + x − 14?

a
−8

b
−1

c
1

d
8

Answer 1

B is the correct answer, -1.
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Answer 2

It would be -8 because x is equal to 1 so if you do 1 - 9 it would equal -8
