Answer:

x = 27/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

8(2x + 3x + 2) = -4x + 124

To solve for x, first simplify the parenthesis on the left-hand side.

8(5x + 2) = -4x + 124

Remove parenthesis

40x + 16 = -4x + 124

Add 4x to both sides

40x + 4x + 16 = -4x + 4x + 124

44x + 16 = 124

Subtract 16 from both sides

44x + 16 - 16 = 124 - 16

44x = 108

Divide both sides by 44

44x/44 = 108/44

x = 27/11
