Solve for the variable. Show all work. 8 (1 - x) + 36 = - 2 (4x + 24) + 95

remember that you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

8 (1-x) + 36=-2 (4x+24) + 95

distribute

8-8x+36=-8x-48+95

-8x+44=-8x+47

add 8x to both sides

44=47

false

since the variables dissapeared and we were left with a false statement, no value of x will satisfy the equation

x={} (the empty set, no solution)

This statement is false, there is no variable to make this statement true.
