Question

3x + 8 + 4x = -8(x - 6) - 8(13x + 5)​

Answer 1

3x+8+4x=-8(x-6)-8(13x+5)​

Get rid of parenthesis.

3x+8+4x=-8(x-6)-8(13x+5)​

3x+8+4x=-8x+48-104x-40

Comine like terms.

7x+8=-112x+8

Add 112x on both sides and subtract 8 from both sides.

119x=0.

Now since you cannot solve, or will get a 0, the answer is x=0.

Answer 2

3x+8+4x=-8x+48–104x–40
7x+8=-112x+8
-7x -7x
8=-119x+8
-8 -8
0=-119x
0=x
