Question

−16=−4(2x−8) please help​

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

−16=−4(2x−8)

Let's rearrange so solving would be easier.

-4(2x-8) = -16

Let's open the brackets. Please take note of the signs (+) (-).

(-4 * 2x) + (-4 * -8) = -16

-8x + 32 = -16

Subtract 32 from both sides. Please take note of the signs (+) (-).

-8x + 32 (-32) = -16 (-32)

-8x + 0 = = -48

-8x = -48

Divide both sides by -8.

-8x/-8 = -48/-8

x = 6
