Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(3 - 8x) - 1 = -6x - 28
Distribute
9 -24x -1 = -6x -28
Combine like terms
8 -24x = -6x -28
Add 24x to each side
8-24x+24x = -6x-28+24x
8 = 18x-28
Add 28 to each side
8+28 = 18x-28+28
36 = 18x
Divide each side by 18
36/18 = 18x/18
2 =x
Jamil has already 6 3/4 cups of butter.
He need 12. SO in order to get the needed butter, we subtract 6 3/4 to 12.
= 12 - 6 3/4
= 11 4/4 - 6 3/4
= 5 1/4
So Jamil needs 5 1/4 cups of butter to achieve the 12 cups.
So this question basically asks what is 2 x 3 x -2³ and that equals 6 x -8 = -48
