How to do - 7x-3x+2=8x-8

Combine like terms.

-7x - 3x = - 10x

-10x + 2 = 8x - 8

+10x + 10x

2 = 18x - 8

+8 + 8

10 = 18x

18x/18 = 10/18

x = 5/9

If you would like to solve the equation - 7 * x - 3 * x + 2 = 8 * x - 8, you can calculate this using the following steps:

- 7 * x - 3 * x + 2 = 8 * x - 8

- 7 * x - 3 * x - 8 * x = - 8 - 2

- 18 * x = - 10 / (-18)

x = 10 / 18

x = 5/9

The correct result would be 5/9.
