WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Solve 1. -2x = -8
2. -2x - 4 = -18
3. 3 (x -4) = -18
4. (X-5) = -7
5. 2 (2x-4) = -16

1. x=4

2. x=7

3. x=-2

4. x=-2

5. x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide both sides by -2 to get x by itself

-2x/-2=-8/-2

x=4

2. Add 4 to both sides and then divide by -2

-2x-4+4=-18+4

-2x/-2=-14/-2

x=7

3. Distribute, add 12 to both sides and then divide by 3

3x-12=-18

3x-12+12=-18+12

3x/3=-6/3

x=-2

4. Add 5 to both sides

x-5+5=-7+5

x=-2

5. Distribute, add 4 to both sides, divide both sides by 4

4x-4=-16

4x-4+4=-16+4

4x/4=-12/4

x=-3

false
