Answer: x=−2
Explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4(8−x)−32=98−5(3x+24)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4(8−x)−32=98−5(3x+24)
(4)(8)+(4)(−x)+−32=98+(−5)(3x)+(−5)(24)(Distribute)
32+−4x+−32=98+−15x+−120
(−4x)+(32+−32)=(−15x)+(98+−120)(Combine Like Terms)
−4x=−15x+−22
−4x=−15x−22
Step 2: Add 15x to both sides.
−4x+15x=−15x−22+15x
11x=−22
Step 3: Divide both sides by 11.
11x /11 = −22 /11
x=−2
