Explanation: Division property of equality is dividing both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number does not change the equation.
a÷c=b÷c for c≠0
<u><em>First, you divide by 3 both sides of an equation.</em></u>
<u><em>3y/3=24/3</em></u>
<u><em>Then, simplify.</em></u>
<u><em>24/3=8</em></u>
<u><em>8*3=24</em></u>
<u><em>24/8=3</em></u>
<u><em>y=8 is the final answer.</em></u>
<u><em>Hope this helps!</em></u>
<u><em>Thanks!</em></u>

There 7 blocks of hundreds which means each such block is equivalent to 100.
There are 5 blocks of tens, which means each such block is equivalent to 10.
There are 8 blocks of ones, which means each such block is equivalent to 1.
The total of these blocks will be = 7(100) + 5(10) + 8(10) = 758
We can make several two 3-digit numbers from these blocks. An example is listed below:
Example:
Using 3 hundred block, 2 tens blocks and 4 ones block to make one number and remaining blocks to make the other number. The remaining blocks will be 4 hundred blocks, 3 tens blocks and 4 ones blocks
The two numbers we will make in this case are:
1st number = 3(100) + 2(10) + 4(1) = 324
2nd number = 4(100) + 3(10) + 4(1) = 434
The sum of these two numbers is = 324 + 434 = 758
i.e. equal to the original sum of all blocks.
This way changing the number of blocks in each place value, different 3 digit numbers can be generated.

1 = 1/4(2x+8)
1 = 1/2x + 2
1 - 2 = 1/2x
(-1) = 1/2x
x = (-1) : 1/2 = (-1) × 2/1 = (-2)
Answer : x = (-2)
