x = -1
8(x + 3) = 6x + 22 ==> 8x +24 = 6x +22 == 2x = -2 ==> x = - 1

8(x + 3) = 6x + 22
8x + 24 = 6x + 22
2x + 24 = 22
2x = -2
x = -1

8(x + 3) = 6x + 22
1. Distribute.
8*x + (8*3) = 6x +22
8x + 24 = 6x + 22
2. Subtract 6x from both sides.
8x - 6x + 24 = 6x - 6x +22
2x + 24 = 22
3. Subtract 24 from both sides.
2x + 24 - 24 = 22 - 24
2x = -2
4. Divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself.
(2x) / 2 = (-2) / 2
x = -1

8(x + 3) = 6x + 22
expand the brackets
8x+24 = 6x+22
subtract 22
8x+2 = 6x
subtract 8x
2 = -2x
divide by -2
-1 = x
amazing

hope this helps
8(x + 3) = 6x + 22
8(x + 3) - 22 = 6x
8x + 24 - 22 = 6x
8x + 2 = 6x
2 = -2x
-1 = x

1) finish up multiplication
8(x+3)=6x+22
8x+24=6x+22
2)OK then put all X's on 1 side a the real numbers on the other side
8x-6x=22-24
subtract Wat u can
2x=-2
divide by 2
x=(-1)

first distribute
8x + 24 = 6x + 22
subtract 24 from both sides
8x = 6x -2
subtract 6x from both sides
2x = -2
divide both sides by 2
x = -2/2, which equals -1
x = -1
