[tex]4(2 - 4x) - 3x = 65 \\ 8 - 16x - 3x = 65 \\ - 19x = 57 \\ x = \frac{57}{ - 19} \\ \boxed{x = - 3}[/tex]
x= -3 is the right answer.
Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
4(2 - 4x) - 3x = 65
Distribute the 4.
8 - 16x - 3x = 65
Combine like terms.
8 - 19x = 65
-19x = 57
Divide by -19 to isolate x.
x = 57/-19
x = -3
Check.
4(2 - 4(-3)) - 3(-3) = 65
4(2 - (-12) + 9 = 65
4(14) + 9 = 65
56 + 9 = 65
65 = 65
