Question

Here is the problem

-8x+11=35

how to work it out for the answer

TIA

Answer 1

the idea on an expression like this is that you want to get the "x" term by itself! to do that here i would start by subtracting 11 from both sides

-8x + 11 = 35

-8x = 24

then you can divide both sides by -8 to get x by itself

x = 24/-8 = -3

Answer 2

Since you learned addition before multiplication, do the first grade stuff first and subtract 11 from both sides of the equals sign

-8x + 11 = 35 => -8x + 11 minus 11 = 35 minus 11

Your new equation is now

-8x = 24

Third grade stuff

-8x divided by 8 = 24 divided by 8 => x = -3

Answer 3

We need to get the x by itself.

First, subtract 11 from both sides

-8x + 11 = 35

On the left the 11 is canceled out. On the right, 35 - 11 is 24

-8x = 24

Next, since -8 is multiplying the x, we divide both sides by -8 to get the answer.

Answer 4

-8x+11=35, subtract 11 from both sides of the equation

-8x = 24, divide both sides of the equation by -8

x = -3
