Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-2 - 8x = -4x - 2\), let's follow these steps:

1. Start with the original equation: \[ -2 - 8x = -4x - 2 \]

2. Add \(8x\) to both sides to move all \(x\) terms to one side: \[ -2 = 4x - 2 \]

3. Add \(2\) to both sides to isolate the term with \(x\): \[ 0 = 4x \]

4. Divide both sides by \(4\): \[ x = 0 \]

Thus, the solution to the equation is \(x = 0\).
