well we know that the first step is to multiply the 3 into 3x and 8 so what does that give us?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
9x
OpenStudy (jlg030597):
and what is 8 times 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
24
OpenStudy (jlg030597):
ok so now you have 8=9x+24-x so combine your x's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

okay you got to distribute the property and so 8= 3(3x+8)-x so we do the Pemdas and the Parathesis goes first and we do the distrivbute property on the 3 (3x+8) so 3 times x is 9x 3 times 8 is 24 so 8=9x+24-x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got tht
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay we need to combine like terns the x's
so 9x - x +24 so
it be 8x + 24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cause 9x muis 1x is 8x i noticed that the guy up above..added them up which changes the whole thing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so 8=8x+24 would be done, cause it cannot be simifly any more ;)
