Question

What value of x makes the followingequation true?8(3x + 4) - 16x = 40

Answer 1

Answer

The value of x is 1.

Explanation

We need the value of x

8(3x + 4) - 16x = 40

We first open the brackets

24x + 32 - 16x = 40

24x - 16x + 32 = 40

8x + 32 = 40

8x + 32 - 32 = 40 - 32

8x = 8

Divide both sides by 8

(8x/8) = (8/8)

x = 1

Hope this Helps!!!
