Answer 1

Answer:

$2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$-2(1-4x)=3x+8$

Let's distribute the parenthesis

$-2+8x=3x+8$

Let's subtract $-3x$ from both sides

$-2+5x=8$

Let's add $2$ to both sides

$5x=10$

Now, let's divide both sides by $5$ to get $x$ alone

$x=2$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

How to solve your problem

−2(1−4)=3+8

-2(1-4x)=3x+8−2(1−4x)=3x+8

Solve

1)

Rearrange terms

−2(1−4)=3+8

-2({\color{#c92786}{1-4x}})=3x+8−2(1−4x)=3x+8

−2(−4+1)=3+8

-2({\color{#c92786}{-4x+1}})=3x+8−2(−4x+1)=3x+8

2)

Distribute

−2(−4+1)=3+8

{\color{#c92786}{-2(-4x+1)}}=3x+8−2(−4x+1)=3x+8

8−2=3+8

{\color{#c92786}{8x-2}}=3x+88x−2=3x+8

3)

Add 

2

22

 to both sides of the equation

8−2=3+8

8x-2=3x+88x−2=3x+8

8−2+2=3+8+2

8x-2+{\color{#c92786}{2}}=3x+8+{\color{#c92786}{2}}8x−2+2=3x+8+2

4)

Simplify

Add the numbers

Add the numbers

8=3+10

8x=3x+108x=3x+10

5)

Subtract 

3

3x3x

 from both sides of the equation

8=3+10

8x=3x+108x=3x+10

8−3=3+10−3

8x{\color{#c92786}{-3x}}=3x+10{\color{#c92786}{-3x}}8x−3x=3x+10−3x

6)

Simplify

Combine like terms

Combine like terms

5=10

5x=105x=10

7)

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

5=10

5x=105x=10

55=105

\frac{5x}{{\color{#c92786}{5}}}=\frac{10}{{\color{#c92786}{5}}}55x=510

8)

Simplify

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator
