multi step equation, please solve ill give brainliest (with steps)

The answer is x=-17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The Steps:

-8 + 5(1 + x) = 2x - 20

-8 + 5 + 5x = 2x - 20

-3 + 5x = 2x - 20

-3 + 3x = -20

3x = -17

x = -17/3

the square root of what number? if you add that, then someone will probably answer the question.

the first one is x^2+2x+2

the second one is x^2+4

the last one is x^2-4x+8
