Select the correct answer.
Which value of x makes this equation true?

-8(x + 5) = -3x − 7 + x − 3
PLATO

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

-8(x + 5) = -3x − 7 + x − 3

Combine like terms

-8(x+5) = -2x -10

Distribute

-8x-40 = -2x-10

Add 8x to each side

-8x-40 +8x = -2x+8x-10

-40 = 6x-10

Add 10 to each side

-40+10 = 6x+10-10

-30 = 6x

Divide by 6

-30/6 = 6x/6

-5 = x

answer is x<

the number of possible outcomes that do not show a 1 on the first spinner and show the number 4 on the second spinner is 2.
