To solve this equation, we first need to distribute the coefficients:
9(3x + 3) + 26(40 - 8x) = 32 - 24x27x + 27 + 1040 - 208x = 32 - 24x
Now combine like terms:
27x - 208x - 24x + 27 + 1040 = 32
Simplify:
-205x + 1067 = 32
Subtract 1067 from both sides:
-205x = -1035
Divide by -205 to solve for x:
x = 5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 5.
