Simplifying
8k(4 + -6) + -2x = 16(3 + -1k)
Combine like terms: 4 + -6 = -2
8k(-2) + -2x = 16(3 + -1k)
Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
8 * -2k + -2x = 16(3 + -1k)
Multiply 8 * -2
-16k + -2x = 16(3 + -1k)
-16k + -2x = (3 * 16 + -1k * 16)
-16k + -2x = (48 + -16k)
Add '16k' to each side of the equation.
-16k + 16k + -2x = 48 + -16k + 16k
Combine like terms: -16k + 16k = 0
0 + -2x = 48 + -16k + 16k
-2x = 48 + -16k + 16k
Combine like terms: -16k + 16k = 0
-2x = 48 + 0
-2x = 48
Solving
-2x = 48
Solving for variable 'x'
. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -24
Simplifying
x = -24
