(- 8 - 8) x

Subtract the numbers

- 16 x

- 16 x - 8 x - 8 = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

Simplify

- 16 x - 8 x

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(- 16 - 8) x

Subtract the numbers

- 24 x

- 24 x - 8 = 0

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

- 24 x = 0 + 8

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

- 24 x = 8

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

24 x = - 8

Divide both sides

\frac{24 x}{24} = \frac{- 8}{24}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 8}{24}

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{- 8}{24}

Cancel out the common factor 8

\frac{- 1}{3}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

- \frac{1}{3}

x = - \frac{1}{3}

Alternative Form

x = - 0. \dot{3}
