Answer:
X = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x + 8) = 9x + 8
multiply the left side to become:
5x + 40 = 9x + 8
move x's to one side and the other whole numbers to the other side:
40-8 = 9x - 5x
32 = 4x
Divide by 4 to both side so that x is by itself:
32/4 = x
8 = x
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Distribute the 5 among the x and 8 in the paraenthees
2. Subtract 8 from both sides (put together like terms to 40)
3. Subtract 5x from both sides (put together like terms)
4. Divide x (4x) by 32.
Hope this helps! :))))
