Question

Solve for x.
104 = 8(-8 + 7x)

Answer 1

question: 104=8(−8+7x)

Explanation:

04=8(−8+7x)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

104=8(−8+7x)

104=(8)(−8)+(8)(7x)(Distribute)

104=−64+56x

104=56x−64

Step 2: Flip the equation.

56x−64=104

Step 3: Add 64 to both sides.

56x−64+64=104+64

56x=168

Step 4: Divide both sides by 56.

56x/56 = 168/56

asnwer: x=3
