Question

Trying to solve this probelm i keep getting -10 -2(4x+4)-3x-2=34

Answer 1

x= -4

Explanation:

−2(4x+4)−3x−2=34

(−2)(4x)+(−2)(4)+−3x+−2=34(Distribute)

−8x+−8+−3x+−2=34

(−8x+−3x)+(−8+−2)=34(Combine Like Terms)

−11x+−10=34

−11x−10=34

−11x−10+10=34+10

−11x=44

−11x /−11 = 44 /−11

x=−4
