Answer 2

`x=-3`

Explanation:

Given Equation:

`-6x-3(1+5x)=-8(x-4)+4`

`-6x-3(1)-3(5x)=-8(x)-8(-4)+4\\\\-6x-3-15x=-8x+32+4\\\\-6x-15x-3=-8x+36\\\\-21x-3=-8x+36\\\\`

Adding '
`8x`' both the sides:

`-21x+8x-3=-8x+8x+36\\\\-13x-3=36`

Adding '3' both the side:

`-13x-3+3=36+3\\\\-13x=39\\\\x=(39)/(-13) \\\\`

`x=-3`
