Question 539045:  5x+28=-3(x-4) 
 Answer by Mathpassionate(25)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! 5x+28=-3(x-4)
 
 
5x+28= -3x +3*4 
5x+28= -3x +12 
5x+3x = +12-28 
8x = -16 
x = (-16)/8 
x = -2
 
 
To prove, we can substitute x= -2 into the original equation 5x+28=-3(x-4)
 
 
5x+28=-3(x-4) 
5*(-2)+28 = -3*(-2-4) 
-10+28 = -3*(-6) 
18 = 18
 
So the answer is x = -2
 
 
Any questions, please let me know.
