Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-27

Step-by-step explanation:

to understand this

you need to know about:

• equation
• PEMDAS

given:

• $- 8 = \frac{x}{3} + 1$

to solve

• $x$

let's solve:

$step - 1 : define \\ - 8 = \frac{x}{3} + 1$

$step - 2 : \\ rewrite$

$\frac{x}{3} + 1= - 8$

$step - 3 : \\ subtract \: 1 \: from \: both \: sides$

$\frac{x}{3} + 1 - 1 = - 8 - 1$

$\frac{x}{3} = - 9$

$step - 4 : \\ multiply \: both \: sides \: by \: 3$

$\frac{x}{3} \times 3 = - 9 \times 3$

$\huge \therefore x = - 27$
