(1)
10(1+3x)=-20
Cross multiply.
10+30x=-20
Isolate x on one side. So you would subtract 10 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,
30x=-20-10
Subtract 10 from -20.
30x=-30
Divide each side by 30 to get x.
30x÷30=-30÷30
Therefore,
x=-1
(2)
-5x-8(1+7x)=-8
Cross multiply -8(1+7x)
-5x-8-56x=-8
Isolate all x's on one side. So you would add 8 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,
-5x-56x=-8+8
Add 8 to -8.
-5x-56x=0
Subtract -56x from -5x
-61x=0
Divide each side by -61
-61x÷-61=0÷-61
Therefore,
x=0

Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
If the lonely negative sign infront of the brackets is confusing, it can be rewritten as -1.
To solve, simplify by expanding then isolate x.
-8 = -( x +4)
-8 = -1 ( x +4) Distribute over brackets by changing the each term's sign
-8 = -x - 4 Start isolating x by moving everything to the other side
-8 +4 = -x -4 + 4 Add 4 to both sides so it cancels out on the right
-4 = -x
-4 = -1x <= -x is the same at -1x
-4/-1 = -x/-1 <=divide both sides by negative 1
4 = x
x = 4 <= usually we write the variable on the left side
X=36 because 1/3 times 36 equals 12
