Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

3(3 - 8x) - 1 = -6x - 28

Distribute

9 -24x -1 = -6x -28

Combine like terms

8 -24x = -6x -28

Add 24x to each side

8-24x+24x = -6x-28+24x

8 = 18x-28

Add 28 to each side

8+28 = 18x-28+28

36 = 18x

Divide each side by 18

36/18 = 18x/18

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3(3-8x)-1=-6x - 28

(3×3)-(3×8x)-1=-6x -28

6-3×8x-1=-6x -28

6-3-1×8x=-6x -28

2×8x=-6x -28

+6x +6x

2×8x+6x=-28

2×14x=-28

-2 -2

14x=-28 -2

14x=-30

÷14 ÷14

x=-30÷14

x=-2.15
