solve the following equation for x?

Question

simplify answer as much as possible

-3(x - 8) = -8x + 29

Answer 1

-3(x - 8) = -8x + 29
-3x+24=-8x+29
5x=5
x=1

Answer 2

ur question is -3(x - 8) = -8x + 29
multiply the -3 outside with both the digits of x and -8 which are inside.
u'll get; -3x + 24 = -8x +29
take the x on one side; -3x + 8x +24 = 29(the sign of -8x changes as + when it comes to the opposite side)
take the no.s other side; -3x + 8x = 29 - 24(sign of -24 changes)
5x = 5
x = 5/5
x=1

Answer 3

x=1

Answer 4

-3(x - 8) = -8x + 29
-3x + 24 = -8x + 29
-3x + 8x = 29 -24
5x = 5
x = 1
Solution: {x belongs to R | x =1}

Answer 5

-3(x - 8) = -8x + 29
24 - 3x = 29 - 8x
5x + 24 = 29
5x = 5
x = 1

Answer 6

-3(x - 8) = - 8x + 29

- 3x + 24 = -8x + 29

- 3x + 24 + 3x = - 8x + 29 + 3x

24 = - 5x + 29

24 - 29 = - 5x + 29 - 29

- 5 = - 5x

- 5 / - 5 = - 5x / - 5

- 5/ - 5 = x

1 = x

- - - - - - - - - -s-

Answer 7

Use distributive property:
-3x+24=-8x+29

Add 8x from both sides:
5x+24=29

Subtract 24 from both sides:
5x=5

Divide 5 from both sides:
x=1

Check:
-3(1-8)=-8(1)+29
-3(-7)=-8+29
21=21

I hope this helps!

Answer 8

11+(a million/x-2)=33 beginning up equation 11+(x-2)=33 in case you have been to divide by using a million the respond continues to be an identical 11+x-2=33 simply by fact 2 does not go into x we distribute the plus sign which drops the parenthesis 9+x=33 it somewhat is straight forward purely start to simplify 11-2=9 x=24 you subtract 9 from the two facets after which you have x=24 now thats your answer

Answer 9

-3x+24=-8x+29
-3x+24-24=-8x+29-24
-3x=-8x+5
-3x+8x=-8x+8x+5
5x=5
x=1
