Answer:
x= 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1- Distribute into the parenthesis.
3x-1(3)-8= 1(4)+4x+5
Step 2- Multiply
3x-3-8= 4+4x+5
Step 3- Add.
3x-3-8= 4x+9
Step 4- Subtract 3x to both sides to move the variable to one side.
3x-11= 4x+9
-3x -3x
Step 5- Subtract 9 to both sides.
-11= 1x+9
-9 -9
-20= x
Exchange the signs.
20= x
3 Added to eight times a number is the same as three times the value of two times the number minus one. What is the number?

Like Terms~
8r-6r=-3-3
2r=-6
r=-3
Your answer is 3
Hope that helps and good luck

So is doubling, first off, meaning, if the current amount say P, then when it doubles is 2P, or double that, or P + P, so the rate of growth is 100%, since it's doubling.
and is doing it every 9 hour cycle, thus
6 books at $ 8 = (6 * 8) = 48
if he got a discount of 20%, then he paid 80%
0.80(48) = 38.40 <== what he paid
