Question

–8(4 + 3x) = -200
Idk what this is i need help

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x = 7}}}}}`

Explanation:

`\sf{ - 8(4 + 3x) = - 200}`

Distribute -8 through the parentheses

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 32 - 24x = - 200}}`

Move 32 to right hand side and change it's sign

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 24x = - 200 + 32}}`

The negative and positive integers are always subtracted but posses the sign of bigger integer

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 24x = - 168}}`

Divide both sides by -24

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ ( - 24x)/( - 24) = ( - 168)/( - 24)}}`

Calculate

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{x = 7}}`

Hope I helped !

Best regards! :D
