Question

i really dont understand this equation
-34=6x-42-8x please help me

Answer 1

combine like terms on left side

-34 = -2*x-42 Is it simpler now?

Answer 2

what do u mean?

Answer 3

solve for x in the equation

-34=6x-42-8x
-34 = -2*x-42 add like terms that is 6x and -8x make -2x on the right hand side
+42=-2x +42 add 42 to both sides to get rid of the 42 and leave -2x by itself.
8=-2x
-4=x now just divide both sides by -2
which is
x=-4
