HELP DUE IN 10 MINUTES!!

Solve for x.

−2(4x+4) - 3x - 2 = 34

Answer 1

Answer:

$- 2(4x + 4) - 3x - 2 = 34 \\ \\ - 8x - 8 - 3x - 2 = 34 \\ \\ - 8x - 3x = 34 + 8 + 2 \\ \\ - 11x = 34 + 8 + 2 \\ \\ - 11x = 44 \\ \\ x = - \frac{44}{11} \\ \\ x = - 4$

Answer 2

Answer:

$−2(4x+4) - 3x - 2 = 34 \\ - 8x - 8 - 3x - 2 = 34 \\ - 11x - 10 = 34 \\ - 11x = 34 + 10 \\ - 11x = 44 \\ \frac{ - 11x}{ - 11} = \frac{ - 44}{ - 11} \\ x = -4$
