Question

18+8x=-x-3(1+4x) what’s the answer

Answer 1

x=-21/19

Explanation:

Given -> 18+8x=x-3(1+4x)

Distributive Property -> 18+8x=x-3-12x

Combine like terms on right side -> 18+8x=-11x-3

Subtract 8x from both sides -> 18=-19x-3

Add 3 to both sides -> 21=-19x

Divide both sides by -19 -> x=-21/19
