Answer:

x=-8

Explanation:

Simplify 34⋅(14x+8)−(12x+2)34⋅(14x+8)-(12x+2).

−5x−6416=38⋅(4−x)−14x-5x-6416=38⋅(4-x)-14x

Simplify 38⋅(4−x)−14x38⋅(4-x)-14x.

−5x−6416=32−5x8-5x-6416=32-5x8

Move all terms containing xx to the left side of the equation.

5x+6416=325x+6416=32

Multiply both sides of the equation by 1616.

5x+64=32⋅(16)5x+64=32⋅(16)

Remove parentheses.

5x+64=32⋅(16)5x+64=32⋅(16)

Simplify 32⋅(16)32⋅(16).

5x+64=245x+64=24

Move all terms not containing xx to the right side of the equation.

5x=−405x=-40

Divide each term by 55 and simplify.

x=−8

Hope this helps! :)
