Slove the following multi-step equation

-3(3x+8)+2=26-3x

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(3x+8)+2=26-3x

We move all terms to the left:

-3(3x+8)+2-(26-3x)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-3(3x+8)-(-3x+26)+2=0

We multiply parentheses

-9x-(-3x+26)-24+2=0

We get rid of parentheses

-9x+3x-26-24+2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-6x-48=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-6x=48

x=48/-6

x=-8
