Answer:
x = [tex]-\frac{9}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
=> 3+2(2x+8) = 1
=> 3+4x+16 = 1
=> 4x+19 = 1
=> 4x = 1-19
=> 4x = -18
Dividing both sides by 4
=> x = [tex]-\frac{18}{4}[/tex]
=> x = [tex]-\frac{9}{2}[/tex]
Answer: -9/2
3 + 2(2x + 8) = 1
3 + 4x + 16 = 1
19 + 4x = 1
4x = -18
x = -18/4 = -9/2
