Steps for finding the solution

We have -8x + 56 = -56

First, we move the non x terms to the RHS of the equation. To do this, we subtract 56 from both sides.

Note: if a = b, then a - c = b - c

Therefore, -8x + 56 - 56 = -56 - 56

or, -8x = -112

Next, divide both sides by -8, which is the coefficent of x

Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c

-8x/-8 = -112/-8

x = -112/-8

To simplify, divide both numerator and denominator by 8, which is the GCF of 112 and 8:

x = -14/-1 or, x = 14
