If you are trying to solve for x:
Gather like terms: ( -7x -3x)
-7x -3x + 2= -8x -8
-10x + 2= -8x -8
Move terms to the other side of the equation:
-10x + 2= -8x -8 Move variables to the left
-10x + 8x + 2= -8 Move constants to the right
-10x + 8x= -8 -2 By moving, you change its value
Collect like terms:
-10x + 8x = -8 -2
-2x = -10 Divide both sides by -2
x = -5
x= -5 Please like if you found this useful!
