x = 0 for the final answer
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
5(−4x+8)+1=41
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5(−4x+8)+1=41
(5)(−4x)+(5)(8)+1=41(Distribute)
−20x+40+1=41
(−20x)+(40+1)=41(Combine Like Terms)
−20x+41=41
−20x+41=41
Step 2: Subtract 41 from both sides.
−20x+41−41=41−41
−20x=0
Step 3: Divide both sides by -20.
−20x
−20
=
0
−20
x=0
Answer:
x=0
