Question

-136=8(6x-5) can someone please help ?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{x=-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-136=8(6x-5)$

Dividing both sides by 8.

$-17=6x-5$

Adding 5 to both sides.

$-12=6x$

Dividing both sides by 6.

$-2=x$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x = - 2}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{ - 136 = 8(6x - 5)}$

Distribute 8 through the parentheses

⇒$\sf{ - 136 = 48x - 40}$

Swap the sides of the equation

⇒$\sf{48x - 40 = - 136}$

Move 40 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒$\sf{48x = - 136 + 40}$

Calculate

⇒$\sf{48x = - 96}$

Divide both sides of the equation by 48

⇒$\sf{ \frac{48x}{48} = \frac{ - 96}{48} }$

⇒Calculate

$\sf{x = - 2}$

Hope I helped!
