Given g(x)=-2x+2, solve for x when g(x)=8

X = -3
To solve this, first set -2x + 2 = 8

Now you want to try to get x alone on one side so subtract 2 on both sides
-2x = 6

Finally divide both sides by -2 to find out what x is equal to

x =-3

To check if this is the right answer, plug -3 in for x in the original equation and see if it comes out as 8

-2(-3) + 2 = 8
6 + 2 = 8
8 = 8

Both sides are equal so -3 is the solution
