Answer:


x=8

Explanation:

To solve the following equation, use inverse operations to solve equations.

Remember that addition and subtraction are inverse operations, as well as multiplication and division.

Therefore,

Apply distributive property of multiplication to expand the parenthesis:


\begin{gathered} -252=4(-8x+1) \\ -252=-32x+4 \\ 32x=4+252 \end{gathered}

Now, solve for x.


\begin{gathered} 32x=256 \\ x=(256)/(32) \\ x=8 \end{gathered}
