Hey!
First, let's write the problem,
Add like terms before using the distributive property.
Apply distributive property.
Add like terms.
Add 18 to both sides.
Subtract 9x from both sides.
Divide both sides by -4.
Our final answer would be,

3x+2(x-9)=8x+x+2
3x+2x-18=9x+2
5x-18=9x+2
-18=4x+2
-20=4x
x=-5
Final answer: -5

Answer:
-323.4375
Step-by-step explanation:
The roots of
f(x) = x² - 48
are found by solving
x² - 48 = 0
x² = 48 . . . . . . add 48
x = ±√48 . . . . take the square root
The roots of f(x) are -4√3 and +4√3.
