Question

20+8(x-11)=-12 answer and how to solve it?

Answer 1

Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, you want to use algebraic properties.

20+8(x-11)=-12                  [distribute]

20+8x-88=-12                   [combine like terms]

8x-68=-12                          [add both sides by 68]

8x=56                                [divide both sides by 8]

x=7

Now we know that x=7.
