Use the distributive property and simplify the expression.

9 + 4(2x – 1) + 8

i got 9?

9 + 4 (2x - 1) + 8
Expand the bracket

=>  9 + (4 * 2x) + (4 * -1) + 8
       simplify the bracket
   
      9 + 8x - 4 + 8
      make the expression equal to 0 and solve
 
       9 + 8x - 4 + 8 = 0
       9 - 4 + 8 + 8x = 0
       13 + 8x = 0
 
       8x = -13

         x = 

Iam not sure , but probably 750 or 7.5

Yuh yeet honestly idk
