You would use the distributive property with the negative. So the second x becomes negative, but since the 7 is already negative it becomes positive. Think of it as if you put the two dashes together you can make a plus sign.
It would be 35 because we can assume that both y’s on the left side are parallel to the right side, and so they would have to be a 35 on each side
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
treat the ? as an x. you need to get it by itself. but first you should distribute the 8.
8x + 24 = 48 +24
8x+24 = 72
take the 24 and subtract it from 72
8x= 48
now divide both sides by 8
x= 6
