Steps Problem Solution

1

Simplify the equation

\$ -8(x+a)=40 \$

2

Given equation

\$ -8(x+a)=40 \$

3

Dividing on both sides of the equation by "-8" we get

\$ (-8(x+a))/-8=40/-8 \$

4

After cancellation we get

\$ x+a= -5 \$

5

Adding "-a" on both sides of the equation

\$ x+a-a=-5-a \$

6

After cancellation we get

\$ x=-5-a \$

7

Hence the solution of the given equation is

\$ x=-5-a \$
