Solve:
-5(-6x + 2) + 8 = -9x - (2/3)(-8x - 2)
Simplify both sides:
Left: -5(-6x) + -5(2) + 8 = 30x - 10 + 8 = 30x - 2
Right: -9x - (2/3)(-8x - 2) = -9x + (16/3)x + 4/3
Combine terms on right: (-9 + 16/3)x + 4/3 = (-27/3 + 16/3)x + 4/3 = (-11/3)x + 4/3
Equation becomes:
30x - 2 = (-11/3)x + 4/3
Multiply by 3 to clear fractions:
90x - 6 = -11x + 4
101x = 10
x = 10/101
(Check: x ≈ 0.09901)
Answer: x = 10/101.
-5(-6x + 2) + 8 = -9x - (2/3)(-8x - 2)
Simplify both sides:
Left: -5(-6x) + -5(2) + 8 = 30x - 10 + 8 = 30x - 2
Right: -9x - (2/3)(-8x - 2) = -9x + (16/3)x + 4/3
Combine terms on right: (-9 + 16/3)x + 4/3 = (-27/3 + 16/3)x + 4/3 = (-11/3)x + 4/3
Equation becomes:
30x - 2 = (-11/3)x + 4/3
