To do solve this you must isolate x. First subtract 16 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 16 is being added to x, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the left side and bring it over to the right side.
x + (16 - 16) = 24 - 16
x = 8
Check:
8 + 16 = 24
24 = 24
Hope this helped!

Answer:
2/5 or 40% of a bag
Step-by-step explanation:
2 bags/5 people
goes to 2/5
which is equal to 4/10
also equal to 40/100
we can rewrite this as a percenatge 40%
Therefore each person gets 40% of a bag of marshmellows
40000+1000x=60000
-40000. -40000
1000x=20000
x=20
Given that
XY*8 = YYY ⇒⇒⇒ Where X and Y are digits
So, X is equal to one of the digits from 1 to 9
and Y is one of the digits from 1 to 9
This can be solved as following
YYY = 100Y + 10Y + Y = Y(100+10+1) = 111Y
XY*8 = 8 (10X + Y) = 80X + 8Y
∴ 80X + 8Y = 111Y
∴ 80 X = 111Y - 8 Y
∴ 80 X = 103 Y
∴ Y = 80X/103
substitute with X = 1 to 9
X = 1 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 0.77 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 2 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 1.55 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 3 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 2.33 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 4 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 3.11 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 5 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 3.88 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 6 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 4.66 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 7 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 5.44 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 8 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 6.21 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 9 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 6.99 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
So, The is no value of Y to achieve ⇒⇒ XY * 8 = YYY
================================================
I think the problem is as following:
Given that XY8 = YYY ⇒⇒⇒ Where X and Y are digits
So, X is equal to one of the digits from 1 to 9
and Y is one of the digits from 1 to 9
This can be solved as following
YYY = 100Y + 10Y + Y = Y(100+10+1) = 111Y
XY8 = 100X + 10Y + 8
∴ 100X + 10Y + 8 = 111Y
∴ 100x + 8 = 101Y
∴ Y = (100X + 8)/101
substitute with X = 1 to 9
X = 1 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 1.07 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 2 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 2.06 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 3 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 3.05 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 4 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 4.04 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 5 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 5.03 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 6 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 6.02 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 7 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 7.01 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 8 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 8 ⇒⇒⇒ integer ⇒⇒ the correct answer
X = 9 ⇒⇒⇒ Y =8.99 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
So, The value of Y = 8
