− 8 x − ( 3 x + 6 ) = 4 − x − 8 x − 3 x − 6 = 4 − x − 11 x − 6 = 4 − x − 11 x + x = 4 + 6 − 10 x = 10 x = − 1
− 8 x − ( 3 x + 6 ) = 4 − x − 8 x − 3 x − 6 = 4 − x − 10 x = 10 x = − 1
The solution to the equation − 8 x − ( 3 x + 6 ) = 4 − x is x = − 1 . We solved the equation by distributing, combining like terms, and isolating x . After following the steps, we determined that x = − 1 .
