Answer:
The solution of -400 = -6(8 - 8x) - 4x is -8
Solution:
From question, the equation given is,
-400 = -6(8 - 8x) - 4x
Multiplying the terms inside the bracket with -6
-400 = -48 + 48x - 4x
On solving,
-400 = -48 + 44x
In the above equation, move -48 from right side to left side,
-400 + 48 = 44x
Now,
-352 = 44x
44x = -352
Now, the ‘x’ becomes,
[tex]x = \frac{-352}{44}[/tex]
Thus, the value of the variable ‘x’ is:
x = -8
