Question

Solve for x. Show each step of the solution
4.5 (8 - x) + 36 = 92 - 2.5 (3x + 24)

Answer 1

First simplify the expression and then collect all the like terms on one side

Answer 2

Finally divide both sides by a suitable number to get x

Answer 3

You want to isolate x to one side.
First you simplify both parts of the equation by distributing and combining like-terms, then try to combine like-terms by subtracting it from both sides. And finally, you can divide everything out once you have a variable on one side.
