Question

X+8(x+2) =52 can someone help me pls with these question

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is X=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x+8(x+2)=52

x+(8)(x)+(8)(2)=52(Distribute)

x+8x+16=52

(x+8x)+(16)=52(Combine Like Terms)

9x+16=52

9x+16=52

Step 2: Subtract 16 from both sides.

9x+16−16=52−16

9x=36

Step 3: Divide both sides by 9.

9x  9 = 36 /9

x=4
