When subtracting -2x from -8x, you are essentially adding 2x to -8x. This results in -8x + 2x, which simplifies to -6x. The double negative in the original expression cancels out, leaving you with a final answer of -6x.
(8x - 8) - (6x - 10) = ?8x - 8 - 6x + 10 = ?8x - 6x + 10 - 8 = ?2x + 2 = ?The answer is (2x + 2)
Remember in algebra any operation you do to one side of the equaution and also to the other side does not affect the eqaution 8x + 7 = 2x + 49 subtract 2x from both sides 6x + 7 = 49 subtract 7 from both sides 6x = 42 divide both sides by 6 x = 7
They can be simplified to: 6x+2x = 8x
8x + 20 = 4 (2x + 5)
8x - 4x + 7 = 94x + 7 = 94x = 9-74x = 2x = 4/2x = 1/2x = 0.5
