Question

How many solutions does the equation 8x + 38 = -3(-6 - 4x) has?

Answer 1

Explanation:

8x + 38 = -3(-6 - 4x)

8x + 38 = -3(-4x - 6)

8x + 38 = -3 (-4x - 6)

8x + 38 = 12x + 18

8x +38 = 12x + 18

8x + 38 - 38 = 12x + 18 - 38

8x + 38 - 38 = 12x + 18 - 38

8x = 12x + 18 - 38

8x= 12x - 20

8x = 12x - 20

8x - 12x = 12x - 20 - 12x

8x - 12x = 12x - 20 - 12x

-4x = 12x - 20 -12x

-4x = 12x - 20 -12x

-4x = - 20

-4x = -20

`(-4x)/(-4) =(-20)/(-4)`
