Answer 1

$\text {Hello! Let's Solve this Equation!}$

$\text {The First Step is to Multiply 3 in the Parentheses:}$

$\text {3*x=3x}\\\text {3*8=24}$

$\text {Your new Problem is: 3x-24=29.7}$

$\text {The Next Step is to Add 24:}$

$\text {3x-24+24=29.7+24}\\\text {=53.7}$

$\text {Your new Problem is: 3x=53.7}$

$\text {The Final Step is to Divide 3:}$

$\text {3x/3=53.7/3}$

$\text {Your Answer would be:}$

$\fbox {x=17.9}$

$\text {Best of Luck!}$
