Question 355037
{{{-(4/9)(2x-4)=48}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-4(2x-4)=9*48}}} Multiply both sides by 9.



{{{-4(2x-4)=432}}} Multiply.



{{{-8x+16=432}}} Distribute.



{{{-8x=432-16}}} Subtract {{{16}}} from both sides.



{{{-8x=416}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(416)/(-8)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-8}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-52}}} Reduce.
