Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
8(2x - 9) = 4(5 + 4x)
Simplify
8(2x−9).
Start simplifying.
0+0+8(2x−9)=4(5+4x)
Simplify by adding zeros.
8(2x−9)=4(5+4x)
Apply the distributive property.
8(2x)+8(−9)=4(5+4x)
Multiply 2 by 8.
16x+8(−9)=4(5+4x)
Multiply 8 by −9.
16x−72=4(5+4x)
Simplify
4(5+4x).
Apply the distributive property.
16x−72=4×5+4(4x)
Multiply 4 by 5.
16x−72=20+4(4x)
Multiply 4 by 4.
16x−72=20+16x
Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation.
Subtract 16x from both sides of the equation.
16x−72−16x=20
Combine the opposite terms in
16x−72−16x.
Subtract 16x from 16x.
0−72=20
Subtract 72 from 0.
−72=20
Since −72 ≠ 20, there are no solutions.
