3(x + 8) = 2x - 9
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
3x + 24 = 2x - 9
<em><u>Subtract 24 from both sides.</u></em>
3x = 2x - 33
<em><u>Subtract 2x from both sides.</u></em>
x = -33 (this is your answer)
We can plug this value into the original equation to verify if it's correct.
3(x + 8) = 2x - 9
3(-33 + 8) = 2 * -33 - 9
-75 = -75 √ this is correct
You would have to multiply 120 x 20 then divide by 8. I hope that helps you!
When you multiplied both sides by a NEGATIVE number, what WAS negative became positive, and what WAS positive became negative! Everything that was larger became small, and what was smaller became large. Everything REVERSED
