<span>3x + (x-8) = 23
Combine like terms first. You can combine 3x and x because they have the same variable.
4x - 8 = 23
Now add 8 to both sides.
4x = 31
Last step is to divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x.
4/4x = 31/4
x = 7.75 is the answer.</span>
Answer:
- Lena's Method: 280
- Jackson's Method: 280
Step-by-step explanation:
Lena's Method:
- 8 + 12 = 20
- Plug 20 in: 14(20)
- 14(20) = 14 × 20 = 280
Jackson's Method:
- 14 × 8 = 112
- 14 × 12 = 168
- Re-write the expression: 112 + 168
- 112 + 168 = 280
I hope this helps!
