X = - 2/11 this is the answer

Caylee Gates · Answer 2

What you do is first you add 6x to both sides and then you problem becomes

11x - 8 = - 10

then you'll add 8 to both sides and get

11x = - 2

So you divide by 11 on both sides because you divide whatever is on the right side of the x and get

x = - 11/2
