Answer:
[tex]x = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]5 - 8x = - 1[/tex]
Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign:
[tex] - 8x = - 1 - 5[/tex]
Calculate
[tex] - 8x = - 6[/tex]
The difference sign (-) will be cancelled in both sides
[tex]8x = 6[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by 8
[tex] \frac{8x}{8} = \frac{6}{8} [/tex]
Calculate
[tex]x = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
Hope this helps...
Good luck on your assignment...
