Step-by-step explanation:
Okay! To do this you need to have x on one side (isolate the variable) and also combine like terms. Like terms are terms with the same exponent and variable, like 8x and 6x.
8x+1=-6x-2 To combine like terms here we have to move -6x to the other side of the equation by adding it (using inverse operations). 8x+6x=14x
14x+1=-2 now subtract 1 from both sides.
14x=-3
Divide both sides by 14 and x=-3/14
