8-2x=-8x+14 answer choices x=-1 x=-3/5 x=3/5 x=1

Hello there!

8 - 2x = -8x + 14

Let's start by subtracting 8 to both sides

8 - 2x - 8 = -8x + 14 - 8

-2x = -8x + 6

Let's add 8x to both sides

-2x + 8x = -8x + 6 +8x

6x = 6

Divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 6/6

x = 1

The correct answer is option D

I hope this helps!

First you add 8x to both sides because a positive is the opposite to a negative and it’s cancels out

8-2x = -8x+14
+8x +8x

8+6x = 14

Next you subtract 8 to both sides

8+6x = 14
-8 -8

6x = 6

Last you divided 6 so x can be by itself

6x = 6
/6 /6

The answer is x=1

The mode of the numbers is 29.
