Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-2(1 - 4x) = 3x + 8[/tex]
[tex]=> -2 + 8x = 3x + 8[/tex]
Lets keep the variables in L.H.S .
[tex]=> 8x - 3x = 8 + 2[/tex]
[tex]=> 5x = 10[/tex]
[tex]=> x = \frac{10}{5} = 2[/tex]
Verification :-
Lets put x = 2 in the eqn.
In L.H.S -
[tex]-2 (1 - 4 \times 2)[/tex]
[tex]=> -2 (1 - 8)[/tex]
[tex]=> -2 \times -7[/tex]
[tex]=> 14[/tex]
In R.H.S -
[tex]3 \times 2 + 8[/tex]
[tex]=> 6 + 8[/tex]
[tex]=> 14[/tex]
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S. (Proved)
