Question

-3+4(8x+9)=5-8(4x+4)

Answer 1

Let's solve the given equation step by step:

-3 + 4(8x+9) = 5 - 8(4x+4)

First, we need to simplify the expressions in the parentheses:

-3 + 32x + 36 = 5 - 32x - 32

Simplifying further by combining like terms:

32x + 33 = -27 - 32x

Adding 32x to both sides:

64x + 33 = -27

Subtracting 33 from both sides:

64x = -60

Finally, dividing both sides by 64:

x = -15/16

Therefore, the solution to the given equation is x = -15/16.
