Question

What is the answer and method for this equation?

Answer 1

`2(4 - 8x) + 6 = - 1 \\ 8 - 16x + 6 = - 1 \\ - 16x = - 1 - 6 - 8 \\ - 16x = -15 \\ 16x = 15 \\ \boxed{x = (15)/(16) }`

• x=15/16 is the right answer.

Answer 2

X = 15/16

Explanation:

2(4-8x) + 6 = -1

8 - 16x + 6 = -1

14 - 16x = -1

-16x = -1 -14

-16x = -15

X = 15/16
