Answer 4

did it now what

Answer 5

5x=2 , x=2/5

Answer 6

exactly as @ankitben said

Answer 7

\[8-5x=6 \]

Subtract 8 from both sides to isolate the variable and you get

\[-5x= -2 \]

Now we must divide both sides by -5 to isolate the variable and convert it back to a positive. Remember the rule, whenever a negative number is multiplied or divided by a negative number, it is converted back to a positive number.

So now once we divide both sides by -5 we get

\[x = -\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }\]

Answer 8

or = -0.4
