Answer/explanation
4(3x+5)=-4
You will distribute the four to every term in the parenthesis,
12x+20=-4
Then you will combine like terms
12x+20=-4
-20 -20
12x=-24
Then you will divide 12 to isolate x
Obviously, -24 cancels out and you would get x=-2

Answer:
-361
Step-by-step explanation:
Your calculator can tell you the result. It is -361.
Start with the inner parentheses and work outward. Do multiplication and division in the order shown, left to right, before addition or subtraction.
-3[2/6+8{-9/3(8-5*3)-6}]
= -3[2/6+8{-9/3(8-15)-6}]
= -3[2/6+8{-9/3(-7)-6}]
= -3[2/6+8{-3(-7)-6}]
= -3[2/6+8{21-6}]
= -3[2/6+8{15}]
= -3[1/3+8{15}]
= -3[1/3+120]
= -3[361/3]
= -361
