Question

Solve Thais equation
2x=8(4x-5).

Answer 1

`x = (40)/(-30\\)`

Explanation:

Lets start by working with our numbers on the right side of the equation.

Begin by using distributive property, turning:

2x = 8(4x - 5) into 2x = 32x - 40

To make things easier, lets subtract 32x on both sides

-30x = 40

Finally, divide by -30 on both sides to get our answered, simplified if necessary:

`x = (40)/(-30) = (4)/(-3) = -1.33`

Answer 2

4/3 in fraction form
