Answer:
x = - 13/29 OR x = - -0.44827586
Explanation:
We use PEMDAS to evaluate the equation.
P stands for parenthesis. In this case we distribute the 8 to the equation in parenthesis.
8(-8x - 6)
-64x - 48 = -6x - 22 we will move the terms to their proportional sides
-64x + 6x = 22 + 48 (remember we do the opposite equation to move to the other side of the equals to sign)
-58x = 70 we divide both sides by -58 to isolate x
x = - 13/29 OR x = - -0.44827586
