Question

could someone help me with this problem? -2(x+4)+8(3x-1)

Answer 1

could u also show your work?

Answer 2

\[-2(x+4) + 8(3x-1)\]Using distributive prop,
\[-2x - 8 + 24x - 8\]Add like terms,
\[22x - 16\]

Answer 3

−2(x+4)+8(3x−1)
Using distributive prop,
−2x−8+24x−8
Add like terms,
22x−16
Divide both sides by 22,
22x/22=16/22
Solve for x
x=0.7272727272727273
