85x=-2 whats the value of the variable?

In order to get the value of x you have to set x by itself subtract from both sides because the only way to get rid of a positve its with a negative now you have 5x=6, now divide 5 from both sides because the only way to get rid of a multiplication is with a division, this will give you the final answer of x=6/5

Hope this helps

For this case what we are going to do is describe the work part by part:

1) Talib made the correct variable change in the first step.

2) Talib made a correct clearance in the second step by passing the number 4 subtracting.

3) Taliz made a correct clearance in the third step by passing the number -8 dividing.

4) Taliz made an incorrect variable change in the last step.

The correct variable change is:

Error in the last step, the correct solution is:
