Solve the equation.

8 - 2x = - 8x + 14

Οx=-1

Οx=-3/2

Οx=3/5

Οx=1

The correct answer is x = 1

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

8 - 2 x = 14 - 8 x

Add 8 x to both sides:

8 x - 2 x + 8 = (8 x - 8 x) + 14

8 x - 8 x = 0:

8 x - 2 x + 8 = 14

8 x - 2 x = 6 x:

6 x + 8 = 14

Subtract 8 from both sides:

6 x + (8 - 8) = 14 - 8

8 - 8 = 0:

6 x = 14 - 8

14 - 8 = 6:

6 x = 6

Divide both sides of 6 x = 6 by 6:

(6 x) / 6 = 6/6

6/6 = 1:

x = 6/6

6/6 = 1:

Answer: x = 1
