Answer:

x = -1.4, -7/5, or -1 2/5 (all same answer, just in different forms)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 1 to both sides.

  • [tex]5x-1+1=-8+1[/tex]
  • [tex]5x=-7[/tex]

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

  • [tex]5x/5=-7/5[/tex]
  • x = -1.4, -7/5, or -1 2/5.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
