What is the simplified expression of the expression below? 4(x+8)+5(x-3)

same as before, distribute the common factor outside and simplify by adding like-terms.

4(x+8) = 4x + 32

5(x-3) = 5x - 15

therefore

4(x+8)+5(x-3) => 4x + 32 + 5x - 15 => 9x +17.

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
