    8 x - 4 (5 - x) = - 44

    mutiply the bracket by - 4

    (-4) (5) = - 20

    (-4) (-x) = 4x

    8x-20+4x = - 44

    8x+4x-20 = - 44 (combine like terms)

    12x-20 = - 44

    move - 20 to the other side

    sign changes from - 20 to + 20

    12x-20+20 = - 44+20

    12x = - 44+20

    12x = - 24

    divide both sides by 12

    12x/12 = - 24/12

    Answer: x = - 2
