Answer :
add like terms first
-7x - 3x = -10x
so we have -10x + 2 = -8x - 8
-> 2 = 2x - 8 [added 10x to both sides]
-> 10 = 2x [added 8 to both sides]
-> x = 5 [divided both sides by 2
therefore the answer is x = 5
-7x - 3x = -10x
so we have -10x + 2 = -8x - 8
-> 2 = 2x - 8 [added 10x to both sides]
-> 10 = 2x [added 8 to both sides]
-> x = 5 [divided both sides by 2
therefore the answer is x = 5
add like terms 10x add 10x to both sides add 8 to both sides the answer is x=5
