4\left(-3x+1\right)=-16-8x
Multiply both sides of the equation by -8.
-12x+4=-16-8x
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by -3x+1.
-12x+4+8x=-16
Add 8x to both sides.
-4x+4=-16
Combine -12x and 8x to get -4x.
-4x=-16-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-4x=-20
Subtract 4 from -16 to get -20.
x=\frac{-20}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=5
Divide -20 by -4 to get 5.
