Answer:

X=-2

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−3x−32=−2(5−4x)

−3x+−32=(−2)(5)+(−2)(−4x)(Distribute)

−3x+−32=−10+8x

−3x−32=8x−10

Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.

−3x−32−8x=8x−10−8x

−11x−32=−10

Step 3: Add 32 to both sides.

−11x−32+32=−10+32

−11x=22

Step 4: Divide both sides by -11.

−11x

−11

=

22

−11
