To solve for x, we first need to distribute the -4 on the left side of the equation.
-4(3x + 10) = 56
-12x - 40 = 56
Now we can add 40 to both sides of the equation to isolate the x term:
-12x = 96
Finally, divide both sides by -12 to solve for x:
x = -8
Therefore, the solution is x = -8.
Solve for x
.
−4(3x+10)=56
