Answer:
[tex]x = \frac{40}{-30\\}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets start by working with our numbers on the right side of the equation.
Begin by using distributive property, turning:
2x = 8(4x - 5) into 2x = 32x - 40
To make things easier, lets subtract 32x on both sides
-30x = 40
Finally, divide by -30 on both sides to get our answered, simplified if necessary:
[tex]x = \frac{40}{-30} = \frac{4}{-3} = -1.33[/tex]
