Answer:
x = 5.72 repeating
Explanation:
first multiply the numbers outside of the parenthesis.
-8x - 96 -8x = 3x -33 + 2x
second we combine like terms.
-16x - 96 = 5x - 33
third we combine the x terms over the equal line.
- 96 = -11x - 33
fourth we add 33 to - 96.
- 63 = -11x
lastly we divide by 11
= 63 divided by 11 = 5. 72 repeating
