Question

What is the step by step solution to −2(1 − 4x) = 3x + 8

Answer 1

`\text {To solve this problem here's what you do}`

`\text {Simplify the equation:}`

`\text {(-2)(1)+(-2)(-4x)=3x+8 (Distribute)}`

`\text {-2+8x=3x+8}`

`\text {8x-2=3x+8}`

`\text {Now you will want to Subtract 3x:}`

`\text {8x-2-3x=3x+8-3x}`

`\text {5x-2=8}`

`\text {Next Step is to Add 2:}`

`\text {5x-2+2=8+2}`

`\text {5x=10}`

`\text {Final Step is to Divide 5:}`

`\text {5x/5=10/5}`

`\text {Your answer will be:}`

`\framebox {x=2}`

`\text {Hope this helps!}`

`\text {-LimitedX}`
