thank you!

Answer 3

ok so first take everything out of the parenthess

Answer 4

so u would get 12x-24=8x-8 right?

Answer 5

then combine like terms so subtract 8x from both sides

Answer 6

so it would now be 4x-24=8

Answer 7

12x-24=8x-8
subtracr 8x on both sides
12x-24-8x=8x-8-8x
4x-24=-8
add 24 on both sides
4x-24+24=-8+24
4x=16
divide by4 on both sides
x=4

Answer 8

oops it would be 4x-24=-8
