As long as you follow all the rules, you will get the right answer! I see a 2 in common, so divide ALL terms by 2 -8 +x = -32 Now add 8 to both sides: x = -24

-16 + 2x = -64 -16 + 16 + 2x = -64 + 16 2x = -48 2x/2 = -48/2 x = -24

-16 + 2x= -64 Hence 2x= -64+16=-48 i.e. x= -48/2=-24

The solution is x = -24

Let's see. Move the constants to the right side of the equation by adding 16 to both sides. That leaves 2x = -48. Now divide both sides by 2. That leaves x = -24.

-16 + 2x = -64 To get "x" by itself, first we add 16 to both sides: 2x = -48 Now divide both sides by 2: x = -24
