i think the answer is a negativee
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but im not sure
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
subtract 8x from both sides...like this
-2x - 13 = 8x + 7 --- subtract 8x from both sides
-2x - 8x - 13 = 8x - 8x + 7 -- combine like terms
-10x - 13 = 7
you understanding so far ?
Then you would add 13 to both sides.
why don't you try that and tell me what you get ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got 2
Nnesha (nnesha):

OpenStudy (texaschic101):
-10x - 13 = 7 --- add 13 to both sides
-10x - 13 + 13 = 7 + 13 --- combine like terms
-10x = 20 -- divide both sides by -10
x = -2
Nnesha (nnesha):
when you move 13 to other side its become positive
OpenStudy (anonymous):
bc -10xdivided by10 =20 divided by 10 =2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is it b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or a
