Answer:

$- 2(4x + 4) - 3x - 2 = 34 \\ \\ - 8x - 8 - 3x - 2 = 34 \\ \\ - 8x - 3x = 34 + 8 + 2 \\ \\ - 11x = 34 + 8 + 2 \\ \\ - 11x = 44 \\ \\ x = - (44)/(11) \\ \\ x = - 4$

Answer:

$−2(4x+4) - 3x - 2 = 34 \\ - 8x - 8 - 3x - 2 = 34 \\ - 11x - 10 = 34 \\ - 11x = 34 + 10 \\ - 11x = 44 \\ ( - 11x)/( - 11) = ( - 44)/( - 11) \\ x = -4$
