Question

Solve for x: 4(3x8-x)=4

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=23$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4(3\cdot8-x)=4$

Divide both sides by 4:

$\implies 3\cdot8-x=1$

Add x to both sides:

$\implies 3\cdot8=x+1$

Multiply 3 × 8:

$\implies 24=x+1$

Subtract 1 from both sides:

$\implies 23=x$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$4\left(3\cdot \:8-x\right)=4$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4$

$\frac{4\left(3\cdot \:8-x\right)}{4}=\frac{4}{4}$

$Simplify$

$24-x=1$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}24\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$24-x-24=1-24$

$Simplify$

$-x=-23$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-1$

$\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{-23}{-1}$

$Simplify$

$x=23$
