Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2(8−12x)+8x=−25x+52
(2)(8)+(2)(−12x)+8x=−25x+52(Distribute)
16+−24x+8x=−25x+52
(−24x+8x)+(16)=−25x+52(Combine Like Terms)
−16x+16=−25x+52
−16x+16=−25x+52
Step 2: Add 25x to both sides.
−16x+16+25x=−25x+52+25x
9x+16=52
Step 3: Subtract 16 from both sides.
9x+16−16=52−16
9x=36
Step 4: Divide both sides by 9.
9x/9 = 36/9
x = 4
