Well, if you know how to find x, it's really just a matter of distributing, and then finding the value of x.

8 is outside the parentheses, and 2x and 9 are inside the parenthesis, telling us that 8 needs to be distributed to the numbers inside the parentheses. Once distributed to both numbers inside the parentheses, you would end up with : 16x + 72 = 56.

Now, there's just the matter of finding the value of x. Let's start with the numbers without any variables with them, and the side that doesn't have the answer. 72. Subtract 72 from both sides, and you're left with : 16x = -16.

We have to isolate the variable, and therefore, we would have to get rid of that 16 with it. So we divide both sides by 16. x ends up by itself, and -16 ÷ 16 is -1.

x = -1

X=-1
First, divide both sides by 8 to eliminate 8 on the left side. You should result in 2x+9=7
Second, subtract 9 from both sides, which results in 2x=-2
Third, Divide both sides by 2 and you get x=-1

Substitute -1 for x--> 8(2(-1)+9)=56 --> 8(-2+9)=56 --> 8(7)=56 --> 56=56

Mary had a number of cookies. after eating one, she gave half the remainer to her sister. after eating another cookie, she gave
Gemiola [76]
She originally started with 23. 

We can tell this by working the equation backwards. Since she has 5 left and she had just given half to her brother, we know she had 10 a moment ago. 

Before that, Mary had eaten a cookie. So we add 1 to the total and now have 11.

Before eating that cookie, she has given half to her sister, which would give her 22. 

And before giving half to her sister, she had eaten the first one, which would give us 23 to start with.
