Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok let me help you
5x+8=-1
step1: put a line through equal sign this helps us see which side is which in case it gets chaotic
step 2: sbtract 8 from +8 which cancels out then subtract 8 from -1 this gives you -9
step 3: divide 5 from 5x which cancels out 5 so you only have x then divide by 5 on -9 which gives you -1.8
So x=-1.8
hope this helps
