Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

5x - 8(1 + 7x) = -8

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute -8: 5x - 8 - 56x = -8
Combine like terms: -51x - 8 = -8
Isolate x term: -51x = 0
Isolate x: x = 0

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it is a solution.

Substitute in x: 5(0) - 8(1 + 7(0)) = -8
Multiply: 0 - 8(1 + 0) = -8
Add: -8(1) = -8
Multiply: -8 = -8

Here we see that -8 does indeed equal -8.

∴ x = 0 is a solution of the equation.

Answer:

$\:c_{11}=-2,\:\:\:c_{12}=-2$

$\:c_{21}=5,\:\:\:c_{22}=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the matrices

$A=\begin{pmatrix}1&-1\\ 2&1\end{pmatrix}$

$B=\begin{pmatrix}1&2\\ \:3&4\end{pmatrix}$

Calculating AB:

$\begin{pmatrix}1&-1\\ \:\:2&1\end{pmatrix}\times \:\begin{pmatrix}1&2\\ \:\:3&4\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}c_{11}&c_{12}\\ \:\:\:c_{21}&c_{22}\end{pmatrix}$
