you can start by dividing both sides by 2.
OpenStudy (cowgirl1):
ok sirt you distribute the the left side ie. 3(3-2) = 9-36
OpenStudy (cowgirl1):
er 9-6

ok so like 2(8-x)=2, right? that = (2x8)-2x=2
OpenStudy (cowgirl1):
so 2(8-x)=2 becomes 16-2x=2
OpenStudy (tay0913):
ok.
OpenStudy (cowgirl1):
so next we can bring x to one side by adding 2x to each side. do you know that part?
OpenStudy (cowgirl1):
16-2x=2 will become 16=2+2x

Mhm
OpenStudy (cowgirl1):
subtract 2 from each side 16=2+2x will be 14=2x
OpenStudy (cowgirl1):
divide each side by 2 14=2x will be 7=x
OpenStudy (tay0913):
Thx

\[\frac{ 2(8-x) }{ 2 }=\frac{ 2 }{ 2 }\]
\[2(8-x)=1\]
\[8-1=x\]
\[x=7\]
rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):
