Answer: x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
34x + -80 = 10x + -8
Reorder the terms:
-80 + 34x = 10x + -8
Reorder the terms:
-80 + 34x = -8 + 10x
Solving
-80 + 34x = -8 + 10x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-10x' to each side of the equation.
-80 + 34x + -10x = -8 + 10x + -10x
Combine like terms: 34x + -10x = 24x
-80 + 24x = -8 + 10x + -10x
Combine like terms: 10x + -10x = 0
-80 + 24x = -8 + 0
-80 + 24x = -8
Add '80' to each side of the equation.
-80 + 80 + 24x = -8 + 80
Combine like terms: -80 + 80 = 0
0 + 24x = -8 + 80
24x = -8 + 80
Combine like terms: -8 + 80 = 72
24x = 72
Divide each side by '24'.
Simplifying
x = 3
