It appears that you need assistance solving for x. To find the value of x that makes this equation true you will need to use inverse operations to get x all by itself on one side of the equation. The first this I would do is apply the distributive property for -8(4x+4) +2 = 9x to get -32x - 32 + 2 = 9x. Then I would simplify the left side to make it -32x - 30 = 9x. Then, I would add 32x to both sides to undo the -32x, leaving you with -30 = 41x. The next step would be to divide both sides by 41 to get -30/41 = x. This is your answer which should be rewritten as x = -30/41. I hope this helps!
