`\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 2 - 9(1 - 4x) = - 24`

`\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: - 9(1 - 4x) = - 24 - 2`

`\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: - 9 + 36x = - 26`

`\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 36x = - 26 + 9`

Answer 2

Explanation:

Simplifying 2 + -9(1 + -4x) = -24

2 + (1 * -9 + -4x * -9) = -24

2 + (-9 + 36x) = -24

Combine like terms: 2 + -9 = -7 -7 + 36x = -24 Solving -7 + 36x = -24

Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '7' to each side of the equation. -7 + 7 + 36x = -24 + 7

Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0 0 + 36x = -24 + 7 36x = -24 + 7

Combine like terms: -24 + 7 = -17 36x = -17

Divide each side by '36'. x = -0.4722222222 Simplifying x = -0.4722222222
