Answer: x=2
Explanation:
Subtract by 2 both sides of an equation.
2-8x-2=-14-2
Simplify.
-8x=-16
Then, you divide into the -8 from both sides of an equation.
-8x/-8=-16/-8
Simplify.
16/2=8
*It change positive to negative sign.*
x=2

Hey there!
Answer = 2(x = 2)
Explanation:
Question:
2 - 8x = -14
Simplify both sides of the equation:
2 - 8x = -14
2 + -8x = -14
-8x + 2 = -14
Subtract two from both sides:
-8x + 2 - 2 = -14 - 2
-8x = -16
Divide both sides by -8:
[tex]\frac{-8x}{-8}= \frac{-16}{8}[/tex]
x = 2
So therefore, that is how you found your answer: x = 2
