Solve: 2(x + 1) = −8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x +2 = -8 -2 -2 x= -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its five

2(x + 1) = −8 you need to isolate x, so perform the opposite operation divide both sides by 2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

x+1 = -8/2 x+1 = -4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

perform the opposite operation again, subtract both sides -1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

x+1-1 = -4-1 x = -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Never mind its -5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
