Question 514708
{{{5x-8=-8(10+x)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5x-8=-80-8x}}} Distribute.



{{{5x=-80-8x+8}}} Add {{{8}}} to both sides.



{{{5x+8x=-80+8}}} Add {{{8x}}} to both sides.



{{{13x=-80+8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{13x=-72}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-72)/(13)}}} Divide both sides by {{{13}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-72/13}}}
