Answer: x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we want to isolate x.

-4(11x+2)=80         [distribute]

-44x-8=80             [add both sides by 8]

-44x=88                 [divide both sides by -44]

x=-2

Now, we know that x=-2.

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First You will need to identify the method!

The method is the Distributive Property!

-4(11x+2)=80

1.) You would need to multiply -4 and 11x

Your answer would be -44x

You're not done with the distributive property because you still have to multiply -4 and +2.

2.) Multiply -4+2

Your answer is -8

PLEASE DON'T MULTIPLY -4 AND 80 YOU WILL MAKE A MISTAKE IF YOU WILL!

3.) The equation would look like this after doing the first few steps:

-44x-8=80

4.) Now you will need to do opposite operations with LIKE TERMS!

-8 and 80 are like terms, so you would need to add 8 to 80. The equation would look like this: -44x=80+8

5.) Add 80 and 8

Equation after adding that:

-44x=88

6.) Now you would need to do another opposite operation this time instead of adding, you would need to divide. (You are doing 88 divided by -44)

Equation: x=88/-44

7.) Solve! x= -2

Therefore, x = -2
