Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 2 = -9 + 7x   (add 2 to both sides)

8x - 2 + 2 = -9 + 7x + 2

8x = 7x - 7           (subtract 7x from  both sides)

8x - 7x = 7x - 7 - 7x

x = - 7

Answer:x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Regroup terms.

8x-2=7x-98x−2=7x−9

2 Subtract 7x7x from both sides.

8x-2-7x=-98x−2−7x=−9

3 Simplify  8x-2-7x8x−2−7x  to  x-2x−2.

x-2=-9x−2=−9

4 Add 22 to both sides.

x=-9+2x=−9+2

5 Simplify  -9+2−9+2  to  -7−7.

x=-7x=−7
