Question

please help me solve this problem

Answer 1

-8x - (3x + 6) = 4 + x
please help me solve this problem

-8x - (3x + 6) = 4 + x
-8x - 3x - 6 = 4 + x
-11x - 6 = 4 + x
-11x - 6 - x = 4 + x - x
-12x - 6 = 4
-12x - 6 + 6 = 4 + 6
-12x = 10
-12x / -12 = 10 / -12
x = -10/12
x = -5/6

Check the answer

-8x - (3x + 6) = 4 + x
-8(-5/6) - (3(-5/6) + 6) = 4 + (-5/6)
40/6 +15/6 - 6 = 4 - 5/6
55/6 - 6 = 3 1/6
9 1/6 - 6 = 3 1/6
3 1/6 = 3 1/6
