Asked by Jolien

Hi, could you answer this? I completely forgot how to do it!

8(2x-3) = -16

Thanks!
Answered by Quidditch
Expand all the terms by multiplying them out:
8(2x-3) = -16
16x - 24 = -16

Put all the variable terms on one side and the "just numbers" terms on the other side.
16x = -16 + 24
Now, solve for x.
