Simplifying 4(-8x + 5) + -1(-33x + -26) = 0 Reorder the terms: 4(5 + -8x) + -1(-33x + -26) = 0 (5 * 4 + -8x * 4) + -1(-33x + -26) = 0 (20 + -32x) + -1(-33x + -26) = 0 Reorder the terms: 20 + -32x + -1(-26 + -33x) = 0 20 + -32x + (-26 * -1 + -33x * -1) = 0 20 + -32x + (26 + 33x) = 0 Reorder the terms: 20 + 26 + -32x + 33x = 0 Combine like terms: 20 + 26 = 46 46 + -32x + 33x = 0 Combine like terms: -32x + 33x = 1x 46 + 1x = 0 Solving 46 + 1x = 0 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-46' to each side of the equation. 46 + -46 + 1x = 0 + -46 Combine like terms: 46 + -46 = 0 0 + 1x = 0 + -46 1x = 0 + -46 Combine like terms: 0 + -46 = -46 1x = -46 Divide each side by '1'. x = -46 Simplifying x = -46
