The solution to the equation is [tex]x = -5[/tex]
The equation of the function is given as:
[tex]-4(2x + 3) = 2x + 6 - (8x + 2)[/tex]
Open the brackets
[tex]-8x - 6 = 2x + 6 - 8x - 2[/tex]
Evaluate the like terms
[tex]- 6 = 2x + 6 - 2[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]2x = -6 - 6 + 2[/tex]
Evaluate the like terms
[tex]2x = -10[/tex]
Divide through by 2
[tex]x = -5[/tex]
Hence, the solution to the equation is [tex]x = -5[/tex]
