What is the value of x in the equation below? Negative 3 minus (negative 8) minus (negative 2) = x

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write everything out

-3 - (-8) - (-2) = x

Step 2: Switch signs

x = -3 + 8 + 2

Step 3: Combine

x = 10 -3

x = 7

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system
