Answer:

[tex]x = 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for [tex]x[/tex] :

[tex]-8 - 8x = -24[/tex]

-Add both side by [tex]8[/tex] :

[tex]-8 + 8 - 8x = -24 + 8[/tex]

[tex]- 8x = -16[/tex]

- Take [tex]8x[/tex] and divide both sides of the equation:

[tex]\frac{-8x}{-8} = \frac{-16}{-8}[/tex]

[tex]x = 2[/tex]

So, the value of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]2[/tex].

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Write it out: -8 - 8x = -24
  2. Add 8 to each side, so it now looks like this: -8x = -16
  3. Divide each side by -8 to cancel out the -8 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 2

I hope this helps!
