Answerr?!

Answer 1

Get all the x terms to one side. Divide both sides by the number in front of the x term.
Hint: Get the x's on the left side.

Answer 2

ik and I always get the answer wrong hint jus give me the answer

Answer 3

No, you can do this. What do you get when you move all the x's to the left side.

Answer 4

14

Answer 5

Subtract 8x from both sides.

Answer 6

2?

Answer 7

6x-8x = 8x + 10 -8x. We're trying to eliminate the 8x on the right side, so we have to subtract both sides by 8x.

Answer 8

It'll be -2x, because 6x - 8x = -2, right?

Answer 9

-2x*

Answer 10

oh okay I see

Answer 11

that was wrong

Answer 12

Good, so -2x = 10. Nothing happened to the 10 yet b/c we were only working with the x terms.

Answer 13

Well, we didn't solve for x yet.

Answer 14

oh im stupid

Answer 15

-2x = 10; how can we get x by itself now?

Answer 16

dividing both sides by -2

Answer 17

Good! What does that leave you.

Answer 18

Answer 19

Yes, x = -5.
