Answer:
x = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4 (8x + 4) -20 = -20
=> 32x + 16 -20 = -20
=> 32x - 4 = -20
=> 32x = -20 + 4
=> 32x = -16
=> 32x/32 = -16/32
=> x = -1/2
So, x is -1/2 or -0.5
To simplify 4(8x+4), multiply 4 by 8x and 4.
(4×8x) + (4×4) = 32x and 16
32x + 16 - 20 = -20
Subtract 16 from both sides.
You should end up with 32x - 20 = -36
Add 20 to both sides.
You should end up with 32x = -16
-16 ÷32 = -1/2
x = -1/2
