Shania King · Answer 1

Simplifying 3x + - 8 = 31 Reorder the terms: - 8 + 3x = 31 Solving - 8 + 3x = 31 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '8' to each side of the equation. - 8 + 8 + 3x = 31 + 8 Combine like terms: - 8 + 8 = 0 0 + 3x = 31 + 8 3x = 31 + 8 Combine like terms: 31 + 8 = 39 3x = 39 Divide each side by '3'. x = 13 Simplifying x = 13

Skylar Liu · Answer 2

3x - 8 = 31

1) 3x = 31 + 8 (add 8 to both sides)

2) x = 39/3 = 13 (divide both sides by 3)
