Answer: x= 19/21.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can expand the expression to:
28x - 8x^2 - 35 + 10x -4x + 8x^2 - 4 + 8x = -1
We can then cancel the - 8x^2 and the + 8x^2 and simplify further by adding like terms:
38x - 35 + 4x -4 = -1 --> 42x - 39 = -1
We can then add 39 on both sides:
42x = 38
We can then divide both sides by the GCF (greatest common factor), 2:
21x = 19
We divide both sides by 21:
x = 19/21
