Answer: 1. x=-7 2. m=6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 5 + x=-2
to get the x by itself, you need to subtract 5 from both sides
5-5 +x = -2-5
there for 0 + x = -7 which means x=-7
2. to get 8m to just m, you need to divide 8m by 8. and what you do to one side of the equation, you need to do to the other. therefore 8m/8=48/8 and 48/8=6. therefore m=6
