Question

-8(4+9x)=7(-2-11x)
please help me solve this i have no clue and this is my math homework

Answer 1

Distributive property

-8*4=-32 -8*9x=-72x

-32-72x=7(-2-11x)

7(-2)=-14 7(-11x)=-77x

-32-72x=-14-77x

Combine Like Terms

-32+14=-18 -77x+72x=-5x

-18=-5x

Divide both sides by -5 and theres your answer
