Solve the following equation.
- 8x=-6x +10

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x=-6x+10

-8x+6x=10

-2x=10

x=-5

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

- 8x = - 6x + 10

- 8x + 6x = 10

- 2x = 10

- x = 10/2

- x = 5

x = - 5

x = 16

y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is a parallelagram.

That means that the diagonals bisect each other.

x = y + 2                  Subtract 2 from both sides

x - 2 = y                   Switch

y = x - 2

y + 10 = 2x - 8         Subtract 10 from both sides

y = 2x - 8  - 10

y = 2x - 18

Now the ys have to be equal so equate the right side of each equation.

2x - 18 = x - 2          Add 18 to both sides

2x = x - 2 + 18

2x = x + 16               Subtract x from both sides

2x - x = 16

x = 16

y = x - 2

y = 16 - 2

y = 14
