ANSWER

-5/8

STEP BY STEP CALCULATION

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

16(4x+2)−16(2x+1)=−4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

16(4x+2)−16(2x+1)=−4

(16)(4x)+(16)(2)+(−16)(2x)+(−16)(1)=−4(Distribute)

64x+32+−32x+−16=−4

(64x+−32x)+(32+−16)=−4(Combine Like Terms)

32x+16=−4

32x+16=−4

Step 2: Subtract 16 from both sides.

32x+16−16=−4−16

32x=−20

Step 3: Divide both sides by 32.

32x/32=−20/32

x=−5/8
