Solve for x: 3x + 4 = 5(x − 8)
3x + 4 = 5(x - 8)3x + 4 = 5x - 40- 3x4 = 2x - 40+ 4044 = 2x÷ 222 = xHope this helps!
3x + 4 = 5(x-8)distribute the 5 to x and -8 and you'd get 3x + 4 = 5x-40 then subtract 4 from both sides getting3x = 5x-44 then subtract 5x from both sides getting8x = -44 then divide both sides by 8 getting x = -5.5
