Hey there!!
Given equation :
... 2 ( x - ( 3 + 2x ) + 9 ) = 3x - 8
Using the distributive property.
... 2 ( x - 3 - 2x + 9 ) = 3x - 8
... 2 ( -x + 6 ) = 3x - 8
Using the distributive property.
... -2x + 12 = 3x - 8
Subtracting 12 on both sides.
... -2x = 3x - 8 - 12
... -2x = 3x - 20
Subtracting 3x on both sides.
... -2x - 3x = -20
... -5x = -20
Dividing by -5 on both sides.
... x = -20 / -5
... x = 4
<em>Hence, the answer is 4. </em>
Hope my answer helps!

Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant is ...
b^2 -4ac = (-4)^2 -4(2)(16) = 16 -128 = -112
A negative discriminant means there are no real solutions to the equation.
_____
The complex solutions are 1±i√7.
If we assume the equation has a typographical error and is intended to be ...
2x^2 -4x -16 = 0
The solutions are x = -2 and x = 4.
