Question

3x+1=8x-24 helpppppppp

Answer 1

Hello there again! :) :D

Answer:

$\boxed{X=5}$

*The answer must have A POSITIVE SIGN ONLY!*

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you subtract by 1 from both sides of an equation.

$3x+1-1=8x-24-1$

Add/Subtract by the numbers from left/right.

$24+1=25$

$3x=8x-25$

Then, you subtract by 8x from both sides of an equation.

$3x-8x=8x-25-8x$

Simplify equation.

$-5x=-25$

Divide by -5 from both sides of an equation.

$\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{-25}{-5}$

Divide by the numbers from left/right.

$-25/-5=5$

Final answer is → $\boxed{X=5}$

Hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

3x+1 =8x -24

3x -8x +1 = -24

-5x +1 = -24

-5x = -24 -1

-5x = -25

x = -25/-5 = 5

x = 5
