Answer: x=-1

Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

3*x+3-(8*(5*x+5))=0

Pull out like factors :

5x + 5 = 5 • (x + 1) 3x + 3) - 40 • (x + 1) = 0

-37 = 0 but nozero's can't be converted so

Solve : x+1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation :

x = -1
