So, you need to do the same operation to each side.
Start out by subtracting 3 from each side
1/4 (20x+8) = -3
Then, multiply both sides by 4
40x+8 = -12
Then, subtract 8 from each side
40x = -20
divide both sides by 40 and you get
x=-1/2

Hope this helped!

The first thing you should do is distribute 1/4 into (20x+8). You should do this first because of the order of operations:

Parenthesis
Exponent
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

5x+2+3=0

Add 2 and 3 together

5x+5=0

Subtract 5 from each side.

5x=-5

Finally, divide each side by 5

x=-1

To check our answer, substitute -1 in as x

1/4(20(-1)+8)+3=0
1/4(-20+8)+3=0
1/4(-12)+3=0
-3+3=0
0=0

x=-1

Hope this helped! Tell me if you have any other questions! :)

Select the correct answer. Which expression is an equivalent expression of 12x + 10 + 4y? 2(6x + 2y + 6) 3(4x + y + 10) 2(6x + 4
Illusion [34]
The answer would be 2(6x+5+2y) you can figure this out through the distributive property. 2(6x)=12x 2(5)=10 and 2(2y)= 4y this would reult in giving you the equation 12x+10+4y

Problem 1 Answer: x = 2/3y+8

Show Work:

Step 1: Add 2y to both sides.

3x−2y+2y=24+2y

3x=2y+24

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = 2y+24/3

x = 2/3y+8

Problem 2 Answer: x=−2y+48

Show Work:

Add -2y to both sides.

x+2y+−2y=48+−2y

x=−2y+48
