Answer:
x= 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1- Distribute into the parenthesis.
3x-1(3)-8= 1(4)+4x+5
Step 2- Multiply
3x-3-8= 4+4x+5
Step 3- Add.
3x-3-8= 4x+9
Step 4- Subtract 3x to both sides to move the variable to one side.
3x-11= 4x+9
-3x -3x
Step 5- Subtract 9 to both sides.
-11= 1x+9
-9 -9
-20= x
Exchange the signs.
20= x
This one should have come before the other one. We apply the cone formula

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you consider matched parentheses to identify the contents of a "bag", the multiplier outside parentheses tells you how many bags you have. When you use the distributive property, you effectively dump all those bags on the table.
Here, the expression 4(6v +4) tells you there are 4 bags and each one contains 6v and 4. When you open them all up, you have ...
4(6v +4) = 6v +6v +6v +6v +4 +4 +4 +4
Of course, we can use multiplication to simplify repeated addition, so we can also write this as ...
4(6v +4) = 4·6v +4·4 = 24v +16
