What is x for negative 8(x plus 2 ) plus 5x equals negative 4

1 answer:

4 0

- 8 ( x + 2 ) + 5x = - 4

Start by distributing.....

- 8 x - 16 + 5x = - 4

Combine like terms.....

- 3 x - 16 = - 4

Add 16 to both sides.....

- 3x = 12

Divide both sides by -3 to get x by its self.....

x = - 4 is the answer
