What is the awnser to this problem 3x-8 (x-8) = 24

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x-8 (x-8) = 24

3x + (-8) (x) + (-8) (-8) = 24 (Distribute)

3x+-8x+64 = 24

(3x+-8x) + (64) = 24 (Combine Like Terms)

-5x+64 = 24

-5x+64 = 24

Step 2: Subtract 64 from both sides.

-5x+64-64 = 24-64

-5x = - 40

Step 3: Divide both sides by - 5.

-5x - x

= - 5

= - 40 / -5

x = 8
