-7x-5x+8=-16 what is the answer to this

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x - 5x + 8 = -16

(-7x -5x) = -16 -8

-12x = -24

x = -24/12

x = 2

if (-) is divided (-) then the result is (+)

hope helping you ^^

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

graph them on a graphing calculator, press 2nd trace. select intersect. hit enter until it says answer. ti 84 works best
