Answer: No solution

Explanation:

4(-8x+5) = -32x-26

1. Divide the 4 from both sides of the equation

-8x+5 = -32x/4 - 26/4

-8x+5 = -8x-24

2. Get variables on one side and constants on the other

0≠ -29

no solution

Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

4(-8x+5)=-32x-26

first thing to do would be distribution

-32x+20=-32x-26

then add 32 from the right side to the left (or switch it doesn’t matter)

0x+20=-26

subtract 20 from both sides

0x=-46

since there is no x value the answer would be no solution

hope this helps!!
