Answer:
s = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
8(s+3) = 72
Expand the brackets out:
(8 x s) + (8 x 3) = 72
8s + 24 = 72
Now you get rid of 24 on the left, by taking away 24. But you also have to do the same on the right side so that both sides are equal:
8s + 24 = 72
left(-24) = right (-24)
So that leaves you with:
8s = 48
Now divide both sides by 8 to make them equal and to get s on its own:
8s = 72
left(/8) = right (/8)
Therfore:
s = 6

Because the given point is a solution to both equations, then they are simultaneous equation
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
8x and 7x + 3 are vertically opposite angles.
Vertically opposite angles are equal,
8x = 7x + 3
8x - 7x = 3
x = 3
