Solve each equation. Then check your solution.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

\[-8(4 + 9x) = 7(-2 -11x)\]

OpenStudy (poto):

What did you do for this one

OpenStudy (firejay5):

I used distributive property first and got -72x - 32 = 77x - 14)

OpenStudy (firejay5):

then I added 72x to both sides and got -32 = 149x - 14

OpenStudy (firejay5):

then I added 14 to both sides and got -18 = 149x

OpenStudy (firejay5):

then I divided 149 on both sides and got x = -18/149

OpenStudy (danjs):

the 11 is negative, you missed one sign

OpenStudy (danjs):

-72x - 32 = -77x - 14

OpenStudy (firejay5):

nah nevermind I don't need help anymore
