6

−6

10

−10

Answer 1

help me

Answer 2

first multiply out -2(x+1)

8x - 2x-2 = 7x+8
then do the subtraction and addition of like terms 8x-2x
6x-2= 7x+8
goal is to get x by itself
subtract 8 to both sides
6x-2-8=7x+8-8
6x-10 = 7x
then subtract 6x from both sides
)6x-6x)-10 = 7x-6x
10= 1x

or just
10 = x

Answer 3

sorry - 10

Answer 4

(6x-6x)-10 = 7x-6x
0-10=1x
-10=x
