Answer:
53
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve the bits in the operation like this...starting with
2x4 = 8
+
5x3 = 15
(we can skip over 8x for now and add the next number)
+
24
= 8+15+24
= 47
so now we have:
(47+8x) ÷ (x+2)
let's get rid of the numbers on the right side, so we subtract 2 from both sides. now we have
(45+8x) ÷ (x)
now we want our x on the left to move to the x on the right, so we'll divide everything by x
we get (45+8) ÷ x/x which = (53) ÷ x/x and we know x/x = 1, so we have
53 ÷ 1, and that = our answer, which is 52
