Mariyah Barry · Answer 1

You said 3 (2x + 8) = 0

Divide each side by 3 : 2x + 8 = 0

Subtract 8 from each side: 2x = - 8

Divide each side by 2 : x = - 4

Sharon Hamilton · Answer 2

3 (2x+8) = 0

Simplify both sides of the equation.

3 (2x+8) = 0

(3) (2x) + (3) (8) = 0 (Distribute)

6x+24=0

Subtract 24 from both sides.

6x+24-24=0-24

6x=-24

Divide both sides by 6.

6x/6 = - 24/6

x=-4
