Question

$$2(4x+9)=-31+1$$

Solve for x

$x=-6$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $4x+9$.

$$8x+18=-31+1$$

Add $-31$ and $1$ to get $-30$.

$$8x+18=-30$$

Subtract $18$ from both sides.

$$8x=-30-18$$

Subtract $18$ from $-30$ to get $-48$.

$$8x=-48$$

Divide both sides by $8$.

$$x=\frac{-48}{8}$$

Divide $-48$ by $8$ to get $-6$.

$$x=-6$$
