What is the solution to the equation -1(5x-3)=2(8x+12)

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

-1(5x-3)=2(8x+12)

Distribute

-5x --3 = 2*8x +2*12

-5x +3 = 16x +24

Add 5x to each side

-5x+5x+3 = 16x+5x +24

3 = 21x+24

Subtract 24 from each side

3-24 = 21x+24-24

-21 = 21x

Divide each side by 21

-21/21 = 21x/21

-1 =x

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation below, first, we open the bracket

-1(5x-3)=2(8x+12),

- 5x + 3 = 16x + 24

Combine like terms

-5x - 16x = 24 -3

-21x = 21

Divide both sides by -21

x = 21/-21

x = -1

the first one, all those points on the line just make a strait line.
