x=-8 (negative 8) well neg=negative for this ok?\nheres how i got it: \n(neg)8x-1=(neg)5x+23 \nneg8x+neg5x-1=neg5x+5x+23 \nneg3x-1=23 \nneg3x-1+1=23+1 \nneg3x=24 \nneg3x divided by neg 3x=24divided by neg3x \nx=neg8 \n\nthere you go

hmm see you can do it in simple way,\n\n(8x-3x) = (5x+ 3x)\ni.e.x ( 8-3) = x (5+3)\ni.e 5x = 8x\ni.e 5 = 8\n\nCheers

There needs to be an "x" there somewhere.  If it were\n-4x + 7 > 15, you'd have \n-4x > 8\n  x < -2 (because you switch the sign when you divide by a negative)

-25\n-5*(-3+8) = -5*(5) = -25

the first part is the same as 8+(14-20)x = 8-6x\nthe second part is the same as 5+2x-2 = 3+2x

-4(2x+8)=32\n-8x-32=32\n-8x=64\nx=-8\n\nEDIT: The guy above missed a sign.  Insert -8 into the original equation to see if it checks out (it does).

The opposite\n\ne.g. \nto cancel 5, add -5 to both sides\nto cancel x², add -x² to both sides\nto cancel -12x, add 12x to both sides\netc.
