Solve -2(1-4x)=3x 8

Evaluate

- 2 (1 - 4 x) = 3 x \times 8

Multiply the terms

- 2 (1 - 4 x) = 24 x

Expand the expression

More Steps

- 2 + 8 x = 24 x

Move the variable to the left side

- 2 + 8 x - 24 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 2 - 16 x = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 16 x = 0 + 2

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 16 x = 2

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

16 x = - 2

Divide both sides

\frac{16 x}{16} = \frac{- 2}{16}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 2}{16}

Solution

More Steps

x = - \frac{1}{8}
