Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(3 - 8x) - 1 = -6x - 28
Distribute
9 -24x -1 = -6x -28
Combine like terms
8 -24x = -6x -28
Add 24x to each side
8-24x+24x = -6x-28+24x
8 = 18x-28
Add 28 to each side
8+28 = 18x-28+28
36 = 18x
Divide each side by 18
36/18 = 18x/18
2 =x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3(3-8x)-1=-6x - 28
(3×3)-(3×8x)-1=-6x -28
6-3×8x-1=-6x -28
6-3-1×8x=-6x -28
2×8x=-6x -28
+6x +6x
2×8x+6x=-28
2×14x=-28
-2 -2
14x=-28 -2
14x=-30
÷14 ÷14
x=-30÷14
x=-2.15
