How to solve for x....

these are the series of steps to solve for x:

1. The first step to solving for x is to simplify the problem. To do this, use the distirbutive property to multply -8 by x and -8 by 3 to get 6x-8x+(-24)=6x+7. Then combine the like-terms on each side of the equation to get -2x+(-24) = 6x+7
2. the second step is to subtract 6x from both sides of the equation to get -8x+(-24)=7
3. Now u should do the opposite operation of (-24) and add 24 to both sides of the equation to get -8x =31
4. Finally, do the opposite operation by dividing by 8 on both sides to get ur answer of x= 3.875


And that my friend is the answer to ur problem!XD

First use distributive propperty to solve the parenthesis
6x - 8x - 24 = 6x + 7
Then you combine like terms
-2x-24=6x+7
Then move your x's to the same side and numbers without an x to the same side
-24=8x+7
-31=8x
Then divide by 8
-31/8=x

Multiply -8 by everything in parenthesis
6x-8x-24=6x+7
Gather like terms
-8x=31
divide both sides by -8
x=-31/8

6x-8x-24=6x+7 distribute the 8
-2x-24=6x+7 combine like terms
-24=8x+7 get all the x's on one side
-31=8x get x alone on one side
x=-31/8 divide to get x alone

6x - 8(x + 3) = 6x + 7
6x - 8x - 24 = 6x + 7 (distribute/)
-2x - 24 = 6x + 7
- 8x - 24 = 7
- 8x = 31
x = - 31 / 8

hope that helped...

6x -8(x+3)=6x+7

6x -8(x+3)=6x+7

6x -8x - 24 =6x+7

-2x - 24 =6x+7

6x +2x = -24 -7

8x = -31
x = -31/8

Numbers.

=3.875

6x - 8(x + 3) = 6x + 7
6x - 8x - 24 = 6x + 7
-2x - 24 = 6x + 7
- 8x - 24 = 7
- 8x = 31
x = - 31 / 8
