Question

Solve for x.
3x – 4(4x – 8) = 3(- 8x - 1)

Answer 1

3x - 4(4x - 8) = 3(-8x - 1)
3x - 16x + 32 = -24x - 3
3x - 16x + 24x = -3 - 32
11x = -35
X = - 35/11

Answer 2

x=-35/11

Explanation:

3x-4(4x-8)=3(-8x-1)

3x-16x+32=3(-8x-1)

-13x+32=-24x-3

-32 -32

-13x=-24x-35

+24x +24x

11x=-35

/11 /11

x=-35/11
