Hello - let's do this step by step. Show your work.
You're asking: 9(8−x)=3x.
Now, simplify both sides of the equation.
9(8−x)=3x
(9)(8)+(9)(−x)=3x (To do that, distribute)
72+−9x=3x
−9x+72=3x
Now, subtract 3x from both sides.
−9x+72−3x=3x−3x
Simplify,
−12x+72=0
After, subtract 72 from both sides.
−12x+72−72=0−72
−12x=−72
Last thing, divide both sides by -12.
-12x/12 = -72/-12
Divide.
Therefore, you have <u>x = 6</u> as your final answer.
