Answer:
The solution is x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve for x in the equation
[tex] - 2x + 8 = - 6[/tex]
Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:
[tex] - 2x + 8 - 8 = - 6 - 8[/tex]
Simplify to get:
[tex] - 2x + 0 = - 14[/tex]
This implies that:
[tex] - 2x = - 14[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{ - 14}{ - 2} [/tex]
[tex]x = 7[/tex]
