Solve -2(x-8)=-8x 10

Evaluate

- 2 (x - 8) = - 8 x \times 10

Multiply the terms

- 2 (x - 8) = - 80 x

Expand the expression

More Steps

- 2 x + 16 = - 80 x

Move the variable to the left side

- 2 x + 16 + 80 x = 0

Add the terms

More Steps

78 x + 16 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

78 x = 0 - 16

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

78 x = - 16

Divide both sides

\frac{78 x}{78} = \frac{- 16}{78}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 16}{78}
