3(9 - 8x - 4x) + 8(3x + 4) = 11
3(9 - 12x) + 8(3x + 4) = 11
27 - 36x + 24x + 32 = 11
59 - 12x = 11
-12x = 11 - 59
-12x = -48
x = 4
hope this helps, God bless!
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value of 5x is still 5x.
5x - 2 = 18
Add 2 to both sides
5x = 20
Divide both sides by 5
x = 4
