Answer 1

Answer:

What is missing is -5x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, simply solve for the parenthesis as if it were a variable of its own. This will allow you to see exactly what is missing.

8x - (x - 20) = 2x - (_______)

8x - x + 20 = 2x - (_______)

7x + 20 = 2x - (_______)

5x + 20 = - (_______)

-5x - 20 = (_______)

So the answer for the parenthesis is -5x - 20
