Simplifying
4(-8x + 5) + -1(-33x + -26) = 0
Reorder the terms:
4(5 + -8x) + -1(-33x + -26) = 0
(5 * 4 + -8x * 4) + -1(-33x + -26) = 0
(20 + -32x) + -1(-33x + -26) = 0
Reorder the terms:
20 + -32x + -1(-26 + -33x) = 0
20 + -32x + (-26 * -1 + -33x * -1) = 0
20 + -32x + (26 + 33x) = 0
Reorder the terms:
20 + 26 + -32x + 33x = 0
Combine like terms: 20 + 26 = 46
46 + -32x + 33x = 0
Combine like terms: -32x + 33x = 1x
46 + 1x = 0
Solving
46 + 1x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-46' to each side of the equation.
46 + -46 + 1x = 0 + -46
Combine like terms: 46 + -46 = 0
0 + 1x = 0 + -46
1x = 0 + -46
Combine like terms: 0 + -46 = -46
1x = -46
Divide each side by '1'.
x = -46
Simplifying
x = -46
