Answer:

Add 7x to each side

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 - 7x = -5x - 10

Add 10 to each side

-8 - 7x+10 = -5x - 10+10

2 -7x = -5x

Add 7x to each side

2-7x+7x = -5x+7x

2 = 2x

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]-8 - 7x = -5x - 10[/tex]

I believe it is adding 8 on both sides

The next step after adding 8 on both sides is adding 5x on both sides

[tex]-7x=-5x-2[/tex]

[tex]-7x+5x=-5x-2+5x[/tex]

[tex]-2x=-2[/tex]

x=1
