First, lets take all the x values on one side.

3x + x + 8 = -x + x + 20
4x + 8 = 20

Now, lets put the numbers on the other side.

4x + 8 - 8 = 20 - 8
4x = 12
x = 3

Hope this helps!

Hello there.

First, we need to isolate x to one side of the equation. To do this, we need to cancel out one of the x's by adding or subtracting it's opposite. Since the right side of the equation has a lower value, we'll cancel that one.

Remember, what you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other side.

3x + 8 = -x + 20
Add 1x to both sides (this cancels out -x and adds 1x to 3x).

4x + 8 = 20
Now we need to isolate the variable. Our current equation has the variable being added to a number, so we need to cancel out that number. To do this, we need to subtract the value of the number.

4x + 8 = 20
Subtract 8 from both sides.

4x = 12
Now, all we need to do is perform the opposite order of operations to 4x in order to solve for x. Since x is being multiplied by 4, we need to divide both sides by 4.

x = 3 is your answer.

I hope this helps, and have a great day!

VikaD [51]
For this case, the first thing to do is to calculate the time you were watching the game.
 We have then:
 2:00 - 1:45 = 15 minutes
 Then, the amount of degrees is given by:
 (15/60) * (360) = 90 degrees
 Answer:

Answer is about 3 times
About 3 times in April bc it’s saying It rained two times out of the 12 days in March in there about 30 days in March and 30 days in April so if you just add 12 and 12 equals 24 so it rained 4 times but if you are 12 it would equal 36 so if you would take half of 12 which is sixto equal one rainy day it would give you about 3 days
