Evaluate The Expression For X = 8 X + 5

Evaluate the expression for x = 8 x + 5

 

Answer:

The final answer is x = -5/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate this given expression always remember that we should combine like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variables and powers. As for the given x = 8 x + 5 the like terms are x and 8x so, we will combine the two.

x = 8 x + 5

x - 8x = 5

-7x = 5

-7x = 5  (division property of equality)

-7      -7

x = -5/7

Therefore, the final answer is x =  -5/7.
