Solve -5x-x-8-x - ScanMath

Evaluate

- 5 x - x - 8 - x

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

- 5 x - x - 8 - x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 6 x - 8 - x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 7 x - 8 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 7 x = 0 + 8

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 7 x = 8

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

7 x = - 8

Divide both sides

\frac{7 x}{7} = \frac{- 8}{7}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 8}{7}

Solution

x = - \frac{8}{7}

Alternative Form

x = - 1. \dot{1} 4285 \dot{7}
