Answer 1

-1/7

-0.14

Explanation:

Answer 2

x=-1/7

Explanation:

6(4x+5)=3(x+8)+3

Distribute

24x +30 = 3x+24 +3

Combine like terms

24x+30 = 3x +27

Subtract 3x from each side

24x-3x+30 = 3x-3x+27

21x +30 = 27

Subtract 30 from each side

21x +30-30 = 27-30

21x = -3

Divide each side by 21

21x/21 = -3/21

x = -1/7
