Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
-8x - 47 = 17
+47 +47
-8x = 64
Divide both sides by -8
x = -8
Answer:
x = 72
Step-by-step explanation:
-8x-47=17
what you would need to do is add 47 to both sides so it would look like this
-8x-47=17
+47 +47
That would cancel out the first 47 since since it is a negative and positive, so they cancel each other out.
You now have -8x= 64
You then need to add 8 into both sides
-8x=64
+8 +8
x=72
