You can distribute the 4, and you get:
![4(10) +18 = 40+18](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%2810%29%20%2B18%20%3D%2040%2B18)
Then add to get your answer:
550(055= -1233 if that’s helps :)
<u>Answer:
</u>
The solution of -400 = -6(8 - 8x) - 4x is -8
<u>Solution:
</u>
From question, the equation given is,
-400 = -6(8 - 8x) - 4x
Multiplying the terms inside the bracket with -6
-400 = -48 + 48x - 4x
On solving,
-400 = -48 + 44x
In the above equation, move -48 from right side to left side,
-400 + 48 = 44x
Now,
-352 = 44x
44x = -352
Now, the ‘x’ becomes,
![x = \frac{-352}{44}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-352%7D%7B44%7D)
Thus, the value of the variable ‘x’ is:
x = -8
