Answer 1

−4(2+4x)−2=−10−8xStep 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.−4(2+4x)−2=−10−8x Simplify:
(−4)(2)+(−4)(4x)+−2=−10+−8x(Distribute)−8+−16x+−2=−10+−8x(−16x)+(−8+−2)=−8x−10(Combine Like Terms)−16x+−10=−8x−10 −16x−10=−8x−10Step 2: Add 8x to both sides.−16x−10+8x=−8x−10+8x−8x−10=−10Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.−8x−10+10=−10+10−8x=0Step 4: Divide both sides by -8.−8x−8=0−8x=0Answer:x=0

Answer 2

-4(2+4x)-2=-10-8x
-8-16X-2=-10-8X
+8X on both sides
-8-8X=-10
+8 on both sides
-8X=-2
divide by -8 on both sides
