Answer:

The answer is X=2

Explanation:

8x+38 = -6(1-5x)

8x+38 = -6+30x

-38 -38

8x = -44 + 30x

-30x -30x

-22x = -44

-22x/-22 = -44/-22

X = 2

Answer: x=2

Explanation:

8x + 38 = -6(1 - 5x)

8x + 38 = -6 + 30x here we regrouped the terms

38 = 30x - 8x - 6 here you can see we subtracted eight from both sides

38 = 22x - 6 simplified

44 = 22x added six to both sides

2=x divided by two

x=2 switched the sides so x is first

Hope this helps, have a BLESSED and wonderful day, as well as a safe one! Also, hope your having a good 2020 :-)
