Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

3(x - 2) + 8 = 2(x + 5)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. (Parenthesis) Distribute:                                                                               3x - 6 + 8 = 2x + 10
  2. Combine like terms:                                                                                     3x + 2 = 2x + 10
  3. {Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides:                    x + 2 = 10
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides:                      x = 8

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                                                                                               3(8 - 2) + 8 = 2(8 + 5)
  2. (Parenthesis) Subtract/Add:                                                                         3(6) + 8 = 2(13)
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                         18 + 8 = 26
  4. Add:                                                                                                               26 = 26

Here we see that 26 does indeed equal 26.

∴ x = 8 is the solution to the equation.

-104=8x what is x ????
love history [14]
-104=8x \\ \\ - \frac{104}{8} = x \ / \ divide \ each \ side \ by \ 8 \\ \\ -13 = x \ / \ simplify \\ \\ x = -13 \ / \ switch \ solution \ around \\ \\

The final result is, x = -13.
