Answer 1

`\text {Hello! Let's Solve this Equation!}`

`\text {The First Step is to Multiply 3 in the Parentheses:}`

`\text {3*x=3x}\\\text {3*8=24}`

`\text {Your new Problem is: 3x-24=29.7}`

`\text {The Next Step is to Add 24:}`

`\text {3x-24+24=29.7+24}\\\text {=53.7}`

`\text {Your new Problem is: 3x=53.7}`

`\text {The Final Step is to Divide 3:}`

`\text {3x/3=53.7/3}`

`\text {Your Answer would be:}`

`\fbox {x=17.9}`

`\text {Best of Luck!}`
