8(x - 6) = -(x + 3) step by step

x = 5 is your answer

Hello!

Alrighty here is your equation

8(x-6) = -(x+3)

8x-48 = -x-3

add 48 to both sides

8x-48+48 = -x-3+48

8x = -x + 45

Add x to both sides

8x+x = -x+x+45

9x = 45

Divide both sides by 9

9x/9 = 45/9

x = 5

Hope I helped! Have a good day :)
