The answer to the question is to combine like terms first:

-8x - 5 = 4x + 2

Isolate the variable x:

-5 = 12x + 2

12x = -7

x = -7/12

It would be 115,000. You round down since 16 is closer to 115,000 than 116,000.

Answer:

$\boxed{\boxed{x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}\ \vee\ x=\pi\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{5\pi}{3}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos(3x)=-1\iff3x=\pi+2k\pi\qquad k\in\mathbb{Z}\\\\\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2k\pi}{3}\\\\x\in[0,\ 2\pi)$

$\text{for}\ k=0\to x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2(0)\pi}{3}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+0=\boxed{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}\in[0,\ 2\pi)\\\\\text{for}\ k=1\to x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2(1)\pi}{3}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2\pi}{3}=\dfrac{3\pi}{3}=\boxed{\pi}\in[0,\ 2\pi)\\\\\text{for}\ k=2\to x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2(2)\pi}{3}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{4\pi}{3}=\boxed{\dfrac{5\pi}{3}}\in[0,\ 2\pi)\\\\\text{for}\ k=3\to x=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{2(3)\pi}{3}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}+\dfrac{6\pi}{3}=\dfrac{7\pi}{3}\notin[0,\ 2\po)$
