Question

Solve the equation. Write a reason for each step.
8(−x − 6) = −50 − 10x

hintHint:

using the additive property and subtraction property ,division property on both sides .solve for x.

The correct answer is: x = 1


    Ans:- x = 1
    Given ,8(-x − 6) = -50-10x.
    By left distributive property - 8x − 48 = - 50 -10x
    Adding 48 on both sides by additive property of equality both sides remain equal.

    - 8x − 48 + 48 = - 50 -10x + 48

    - 8x = -10x - 2
    Adding 10x on both sides by additive property of equality both sides remain equal.

    - 8x +10x = -10x - 2 +10x

    2x = - 2
    Dividing 2  left parenthesis not equal to 0 right parenthesis by division property of equality both sides remains equal.

    fraction numerator 2 x over denominator 2 end fraction equals fraction numerator negative 2 over denominator 2 end fraction

    x = -1

    ∴ x = -1
