8x - 2 = -9 + 7x what does x equal

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

step-by-step explanation:

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
