Just number 7 would be fine but if you could also number 8 would help a lot

7. r = -5

8. x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

r + 2 - 8r = -3 - 8r

Step 2: Solve for r

Combine like terms:                    -7r + 2 = -3 - 8rAdd 8r to both sides:                   r + 2 = -3Subtract 2 on both sides:            r = -5

Step 3: Check

Plug in r into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in r:                    -5 + 2 - 8(-5) = -3 - 8(-5)Multiply:                              -5 + 2 + 40 = -3 + 40Add:                                    -3 + 40 = -3 + 40Add:                                    37 = 37

Here we see that 37 does indeed equal 37.

∴ r = -5 is a solution of the equation.

Step 4: Define equation

-4x = x + 5

Step 5: Solve for x

Subtract x on both sides:                    -5x = 5Divide -5 on both sides:                      x = -1

Step 6: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                    -4(-1) = -1 + 5Multiply:                               4 = -1 + 5Add:                                     4 = 4

Here we see that 4 does indeed equal 4.

∴ x = -1 is a solution of the equation.
