Answer 1

X= -2

Explanation:

So first distribute on the right side

2+3x=-20-8x

Now add 8x on both sides

2+11x=-20

Now subtract 2 on both sides

11x= -22

Now divde 11 on both sides

-22/11

x=-2

Answer 2

x = -2

Explanation:

2+3x = −4(5+2x)

2+3x = (−4)(5)+(−4)(2x)(Distribute)

2+3x = −20+−8x

3x+2 = −8x−20

3x+2+8x = −8x−20+8x

11x+2 = −20

11x+2−2 = −20−2

11x = −22

11x/11 = −22/11

therefore, x = −2
