Hello - let's do this step by step. Show your work.

You're asking: 9(8−x)=3x.

Now, simplify both sides of the equation.

9(8−x)=3x

(9)(8)+(9)(−x)=3x (To do that, distribute)

72+−9x=3x

−9x+72=3x

Now, subtract 3x from both sides.

−9x+72−3x=3x−3x

Simplify,

−12x+72=0

After, subtract 72 from both sides.

−12x+72−72=0−72

−12x=−72

Last thing, divide both sides by -12.

-12x/12 = -72/-12

Divide.

Therefore, you have x = 6 as your final answer.

Jason likely missed placed the decimal, because 3 x 1 = 3, and if the decimal was between 2 and 5, the number would be near 3.

Algebra I

Coordinates (x, y)
Midpoint Formula: $\displaystyle (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point P(1, 3)

Point Q(7, 7)

Step 2: Identify

P(1, 3) → x₁ = 1, y₁ = 3

Q(7, 7) → x₂ = 7, y₂ = 7

Step 3: Find Midpoint

Simply plug in your coordinates into the midpoint formula to find midpoint

Substitute in points [Midpoint Formula]: $\displaystyle (\frac{1+7}{2},\frac{3+7}{2})$
[Midpoint] Add: $\displaystyle (\frac{8}{2},\frac{10}{2})$
[Midpoint] Divide: $\displaystyle (4,5)$
