Question

-48=8x+8 solve help please

Answer 1

To solve for x first subtract 8 from both sides of the equation

$\begin{gathered} -48=8x+8 \\ -48-8=8x+8-8 \\ -56=8x \end{gathered}$

Now divide both sides of the equation by 8

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-56}{8}=\frac{8x}{8} \\ -7=x \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the solution for this equation is

$x=-7$
