Answer 2

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

-8(-3 + x) = -56

Distribute the -8 into the (-3 + x).

24 - 8x = -56

Subtract 24 from both sides.

-8x = -80

Divide both sides by -8.

x = 10.

Proof:

-8(-3 + x) = -56

Substitute variable.

-8(-3 + 10) = -56

Add inside parenthesis.

-8(7) = -56

Multiply.

-56 = -56
