Solve the equation

−8(x−2)−22=−6

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we should do is use the distributive property so we can get rid of the parenthesis.

− 8 ( x − 2 ) − 22 = − 6

- 8x + 16 - 22 = -6

Now that we have distributed we should combine like terms, which means to combine numbers that can be combined. In our equation, we can combine 16 and - 22.

- 8x + 16 - 22 = -6

- 8x - 6 = -6

Now what we do is add our negative 6 to the other side so that we can finally solve for x.

- 8x - 6 = -6

+ 6        + 6

-8x = 0

Usually, we would divide here but since 8x equals 0 that means x = 0 because 0 multiplied by 8 equals 0.

So let's test it out,

− 8 ( 0 − 2 ) − 22 = − 6

0 + 16 -22 = - 6

- 6 = - 6

This solution is correct

Hope this helps :)
