Solve for xx.

Question

70, equals, minus, 8, x, plus, 38
70=
−8x+38

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 70 = -8x + 38 \), follow these steps:

1. Isolate the term with \( x \): Subtract 38 from both sides: \[ 70 - 38 = -8x \] \[ 32 = -8x \]

2. Solve for \( x \): Divide by -8: \[ x = \frac{32}{-8} \] \[ x = -4 \]

Thus, the solution is \( x = -4 \).
