Solve each equation. Then check your solution.
\[-8 (4 + 9x) = 7 ( -2- 11x)\]
@Poto sorry about that
It's fine :)
Anyways..... I used distributive property on both sides and got -72x - 32 = -77x - 14
then I added 72x on both sides and go -32 = -5x - 14
then I added 14 on both sides and got -18 = -5x and then divided by -5 on both sides and got x = 3.6
You got it correct
-8(4 + 9(3.6) = -291.2 and 7(-2 - 11(3.6) = -291.2 in other words the solution is x = 3.6
My mistake was I forgot to add the 9 into the problem -8 (4 + (3.6))
@Poto The reason I didn't want help for the same problem was because he said I missed the -11 and I knew that; it pissed me off when he re-wrote the problem for me in which I was going to do (basically not giving me the time to fix my problem on my own)
It's okay man, I understand. Don't like when that happens.
that's why I said nevermind I don't need help anymore.
Okay, but yeah you got it right. I did it and got 3.6 or 18/5
thanks for understanding
