Answer:
X = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, try simplfying the equation simply multiply the whole brackets with 2
-X - (18 - 16x) = 12
You can either multiply the whole equation by -1 or simplfy it, im gonna do the second option here.
-X - 18 + 16x = 12
Now, lets add 18 to both sides.
-X - 18 + 16X + 18 = 12 + 18
-X + 16X = 30
Getting simple here, Subtract an X from the 16X.
15X = 30
Divide the whole equation by 15.
X = 2
Always check if the answer is right or not.
-(2)-2[9-8(2)]
-2-(18-32)
-2-(-14)
-2+14
12 = 12
And that's how it's solved.
