PLEASE IF YOUR A MATH EXPERT ANSWER THIS I'M LOSING MY SANITY What is the value of x that makes the given equation true?
2(x−8)=x+5x
A: x=−4
B: x=−16
C: x=−2
D: x = 0

options a is correct

multiple 2 to the whole bracket in LHS and add in the RHS

i.e 2x-16=6x

transpose 2x to RHS

i.e -16=6x-2x

that gives

-16=4x

x=-16÷4

x=-4

hope it helps you

A is best answer

Step-by-step explanation:

2(-4-8)=-4+5•-4

(-4-8)=-12

2•-12=-4+(5×-4)

-24=-4+(-20)

-24=-24

you are saying it as if a fact, not a question, but yes, you would be correct? ; )
