What is 8+5x=-2 explain thx < 3

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the 8 from both sides

5x = -10

And divide 5 from both sides

x = -2

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

when solving an equation you want to get the variable by itself, this is a 2 step equation so it will take 2 steps to solve, the first step is to subtract 8 from both sides, you do this because it is the opposite function of what the original equation says, so therefore you are sort of reversing the equation until you get the variable by itself. so when you subtract 8 you get 5x = -10 the next step is to divide both sides by 5 in order to separate 5 from x after you do this you have x by its self and you get x = -2

 8+5x = -2

- 8          -8

5x=-10

x=-2    

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
