Answer:
x = 27/11
Explanation:
Given the equation:
8(2x + 3x + 2) = -4x + 124
To solve for x, first simplify the parenthesis on the left-hand side.
8(5x + 2) = -4x + 124
Remove parenthesis
40x + 16 = -4x + 124
Add 4x to both sides
40x + 4x + 16 = -4x + 4x + 124
44x + 16 = 124
Subtract 16 from both sides
44x + 16 - 16 = 124 - 16
44x = 108
Divide both sides by 44
44x/44 = 108/44
x = 27/11
