ok, so here are the steps
8x + 24 = 8 (take away the 24)
8x = -16 (now divide by 8 to get x alone)
x= -2
hope this helps

8x + 24 = 8
Transpose 24
8x + 24 - 24 = 8 - 24
Collect like terms
8x = - 16
Divide both sides by 8
8x / 8 = - 16 / 8
x = - 16/8
x = - 2
- - - - - - -
The answer is C,
- - - - - -s-

8x/8=-16/8
x=-2

1. first, you have to make x stand alone
2. get rid of 24 and 8 by subtracting
3. then get rid of the other 8 by dividing it by itself
4. then you break up your first answer by dividing it by the number next to the variable.
5. first answer: -16
8x + 24 =8
8 -24 =-16
8x =-16
8x/8= x
-16/8 =-2
its c
