Question

solve the equation. 8 - 2x = -8x + 14
o x = -1
o x = -\frac{3}{5}
o x = \frac{3}{5}
o x = 1

Explanation:

Step1: Add 8x to both sides

$8 - 2x+8x=-8x + 14+8x$
$8 + 6x=14$

Step2: Subtract 8 from both sides

$8 + 6x-8=14 - 8$
$6x=6$

Step3: Divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{6}{6}$
$x = 1$

Answer:

$x = 1$
