Angela · Answer 1

Answer: x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

you would set up the equation like this:

x-8 = 3x

then, isolate the x, like this

-8 = 3x-x

subtract x from 3x

-8 = 2x

divide each side by 2

-4 = x

and then you're done!

You would set them equal to each other and the final answer would be - 4=x
