x=-80/39

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

2(3x - 4) = 9(8 + 5x)

first we multiply 2 by (3x - 4) in the left side, and multiply 9 by (8 + 5x) in the right side:

6x-8=72+45x

now we move all terms with x to the left, and all independent terms to the right:

$6x-45x=72+8\\-39x=80$

finally we divide by (-39) both sides of the equation:

$\frac{-39x}{-39}=\frac{80}{-39} \\x=-\frac{80}{39}$

making this division we get:

x=-2.0513

or you can just leave the answer as x=-80/39
