Solve -2(8x-4)+4(8+8x)=-49+17x

$$- 2 ( 8 x - 4 ) + 4 ( 8 + 8 x ) = - 49 + 17 x$$

Solve for x

$$x=89$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 8x-4.

$$-16x+8+4\left(8+8x\right)=-49+17x$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 8+8x.

$$-16x+8+32+32x=-49+17x$$

Add 8 and 32 to get 40.

$$-16x+40+32x=-49+17x$$

Combine -16x and 32x to get 16x.

$$16x+40=-49+17x$$

Subtract 17x from both sides.

$$16x+40-17x=-49$$

Combine 16x and -17x to get -x.

$$-x+40=-49$$

Subtract 40 from both sides.

$$-x=-49-40$$

Subtract 40 from -49 to get -89.

$$-x=-89$$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$x=89$$
