What is 6+3 (-8x-2) = 12

=12

Step-by-step explanation:

6+3 (-8x-2) = 12

3 (-8x-2) = 63 (-8x-2) = 6

3 (-8x-2) = 6

3 Divide both sides by

33

3.

-8x-2=63-8x-2=/frac{6}{3}

-8x-2=

3



6



4 Simplify

63/frac{6}{3}

6

to

22

2.

-8x-2=2-8x-2=2

-8x-2=2

5 Add

22

2 to both sides.

-8x=2+2-8x=2+2

-8x=2+2

6 Simplify

2+22+2

2+2 to

44

4.

-8x=4-8x=4

-8x=4

7 Divide both sides by

-8-8

-8.

x=-48x=-/frac{4}{8}

x=-

8
