2– 8x = -22? ? i have been working this for the past 15 minutes and still got nothing can you guys me?

x=3 *The answer should be the positive sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

division property of equality is dividing both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number does not change the equation.

distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

subtract 2 both sides of an equation.

2-8x-2=-22-2

simplify

-8x=-24

divide by -8 both sides of an equation.

-8x/-8=-24/-8

24/8=3

3*8=24

8*3=24

24/3=8

x=3

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
