Question 468168
{{{-(3x+(8x+1)) = 6 -(2x+4)}}}
First add like terms inside parenthesis
3x + 8x = 11x
{{{-(11x+1) = 6 -(2x+4)}}}
Next distribute the negative signs to each term inside parenthesis
**Flip the signs**
{{{-11x - 1 = 6 - 2x - 4}}}
Add like terms on right hand side
6-4 = 2
{{{-11x - 1 = -2x + 2}}}
Get x's on one side
Add 2x on both sides
{{{-9x - 1 = 2}}}
Add 1 on both sides
{{{-9x = 3}}}
Divide by -9 on both sides
{{{x = 3/(-9)}}}
Reduce
{{{x = (-1)/3}}}
