Expanding the left side of the equation:
-2(3x + 4) = -6x - 86x + 8
Combining like terms:
-6x - 8 + 6x + 8 = 0
Expanding the right side of the equation:
4(5x - 2) = 20x - 8-5x - 8
20x - 8 - 5x - 8 = 15x - 16
So the equation becomes:
15x - 16 = 0
Adding 16 to both sides:
15x = 16
Dividing by 15:
x = 16/15
Therefore, the solution is x = 16/15.
Expanding the left side of the equation:
-2(3x + 4) = -6x - 8
6x + 8
Combining like terms:
-6x - 8 + 6x + 8 = 0
Expanding the right side of the equation:
4(5x - 2) = 20x - 8
-5x - 8
Combining like terms:
20x - 8 - 5x - 8 = 15x - 16
So the equation becomes:
15x - 16 = 0
Adding 16 to both sides:
15x = 16
