First distribute -3 into the parenthesis. you will get 6x-3x-24=9. Then subtract 6x and 3x because they're like terms. you will get 3x -24=9. After that add 24 by both sides and get 3x=33. this step is easy just divide by both sides and you will get x.

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

6x + -3(x + -8) = 9

Reorder the terms:

6x + -3(-8 + x) = 9

6x + (-8 * -3 + x * -3) = 9

6x + (24 + -3x) = 9

Reorder the terms:

24 + 6x + -3x = 9

Combine like terms: 6x + -3x = 3x

24 + 3x = 9

Solving

24 + 3x = 9

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-24' to each side of the equation.

24 + -24 + 3x = 9 + -24

Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0

0 + 3x = 9 + -24

3x = 9 + -24

Combine like terms: 9 + -24 = -15

3x = -15

Divide each side by '3'.

x = -5

Hope this Helps

I hope this is correct

What is the solution of the system?
Grace [21]
You can solve the system by isolating the same variable in both equations, then setting those equations equal to each other. For instance, say we isolate y:

4x+3y=12
3y=12-4x
y=4- \frac{4}{3} x

Do the same for the other equation, then set both equations equal to each other. You can then solve for x. Once you have a value for x, you can plug it into either of the original equations and find y!

Write an equation for the description . The length of a rectangle is twice its width . The perimeter of the rectangle is 122 fee
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

  122 = 2(2w +w)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let w represent the width of the rectangle, then 2w is the length of it. The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width.

  P = 2(L+W)

  122 = 2(2w +w) . . . . an equation for the description
