Question

Okay, I've been trying to figure this out for the better part of an hour. HALP ME!

If:
-5(1 - 5x) + 5(-8 · 2) = -4x - 8x
What does x equal?

Answer 1

i really don’t know if this is right but i got 85/37 ??

Answer 2

Answer:

x=80/37

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(1-5x)+5(-8*2)=-4x-8x

-5(-5x)+5(-16)=-12x

25x-80=-12x

-25x+25x-80=-12x-25x

-80=-37x

-80/-37=-37x-/37

x=-80/37
