Twice the value of x is 2x, because it’s x with another x added on top (x + x = 2x)
Eight less than that is 2x - 8. That’s because you are taking away 8 from 2x (less than = subtraction).
Therefore your final expression is 2x - 8.
Step 4-5 is where Andrew made an error. Since 9.8 is positive, -11.8 + 9.8 = -2. He subtracted 9.8 from 11.8 instead of adding it.

Isolate the x. Subtract 5/8 from both sides
x + 5/8 (-5/8) = 6 (-5/8)
x = 5 8/8 - 5/8
Simplify
x = 5 3/8 is your answer
hope this helps
Answer: 11:15am
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it It takes 5 minutes to get to the airport, and Carter wants to be at the airport 2 hours and 45 minutes before his flight leaves. This means he will use about (2 hours 45 minutes + 5 minutes) = 2 hours 50 minutes before his flight leaves.
We would then subtract 2 hours 50 minutes from the time that his flight leaves. This will be:
= 2:05pm - 2hours 50 minutes
= 11:15am.
He will have to leave latest 11:15am
