Answer:

x = -5

Explanation:

-5(1 - 5x) +5(-8x - 2) = -4x – 8x

First lets simplify each side of the equation.

-5+25x-40x-10 = -4x-8x

Combine like terms

-15x-15=-12x

Add 15x to both sides (addition property of equality)

-15=3x

Divide each side by 3 (division property of equality)

x=-5

The answer is x = -5
