Answer:
-5/8 or -0.625
Step-by-step explanation:
divide both sides by 8
[tex]\frac{8(x+6)}{8} =\frac{43}{8}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]x+6 = \frac{43}{8}[/tex]
Subtract 6 from both sides
[tex]x+6 - 6 = \frac{43}{8} -6[/tex]
Convert the fraction to decimal and simplify
[tex]5.375 - 6 = -0.625[/tex]
Simplified:
[tex]-\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
