PLEASE SOLVE THE QUESTION BELOW

Answer 1

`x=12`

Explanation:

we have

`-8(8-x)=(4)/(5)(x+28)`

solve for x

Applying distributive property both sides

`-8(8)-8(-x)=(4)/(5)(x)+(4)/(5)(28)`

`-64+8x=(4)/(5)(x)+(112)/(5)`

Multiply by 5 both sides to remove the fractions

`-64(5)+8x(5)=4x+112`

`-320+40x=4x+112`

subtract 4x both sides

`-320+40x-4x=4x+112-4x`

`-320+36x=112`

Adds 320 both sides

`-320+36x+320=112+320`

`36x=432`

divide by 36 both sides

`x=12`
