To solve this equation, we will first distribute the terms on the left side of the equation:
18x + 4 - 4x(1) + 4x(4x) = -4(1) + -4(1) - -4(2x)
Simplify:
18x + 4 - 4x + 16x = -4 - 4 - 8x
Combine like terms:
30x + 4 = -8x - 8
Now, move all the x-terms to one side of the equation and all the constant terms to the other side:
30x + 8x = -8 - 8 - 4
38x = -20
Now, solve for x by dividing both sides by 38:
x = -20/38x = -10/19
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -10/19.
