The second step is to combine and add similar terms
x = -24 - 6
x = -30
Second method of solving the equation
The equation the friends are trying to solve is [tex]\frac{x}{3} + 8 = -2[/tex]
The first step is to combine similar terms
[tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] = - 8 - 2
The second step is to add similar terms together
[tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] = - 10
The third step is to multiply both sides of the equation by 3
x = (-10 x 3)
