Simplifying
15 + 8x = 7x + -8
Reorder the terms:
15 + 8x = -8 + 7x
Solving
15 + 8x = -8 + 7x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.
15 + 8x + -7x = -8 + 7x + -7x
Combine like terms: 8x + -7x = 1x
15 + 1x = -8 + 7x + -7x
Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0
15 + 1x = -8 + 0
15 + 1x = -8
Add '-15' to each side of the equation.
15 + -15 + 1x = -8 + -15
Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0
0 + 1x = -8 + -15
1x = -8 + -15
Combine like terms: -8 + -15 = -23
1x = -23
Divide each side by '1'.
x = -23
Simplifying
x = -23
Hope this helps!
Solve:
15 + 8x = 7x - 8
Simplify Both sides of the equation:
15 + 8x = 7x - 8
15 + 8x = 7x + -8
8x + 15 = 7x - 8
Subtract 7x from both sides:
8x + 15 - 7x = 7x - 8 - 7x
x + 15 = -8
Subtract 15 from both sides:
x + 15 - 15 = -8 - 15
x = -23
Answer ==========> x = -23
Hope that helps!!!! : )
