8x+12=-20

Answer 1

To solve the equation 8x + 12 = -20, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, let's subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
8x + 12 - 12 = -20 - 12
8x = -32

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
8x/8 = -32/8
x = -4

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -4.
