Solve -8(x+4)+5=13

Evaluate

- 8 (x + 4) + 5 = 13

Move the expression to the left side

- 8 (x + 4) + 5 - 13 = 0

Subtract the numbers

- 8 (x + 4) - 8 = 0

Calculate

More Steps

- 8 x - 40 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 8 x = 0 + 40

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

- 8 x = 40

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

8 x = - 40

Divide both sides

\frac{8 x}{8} = \frac{- 40}{8}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 40}{8}
