Question

3x+1=8x-24 helpppppppp

Answer 1

Hello there again! :) :D

Answer:

`\boxed{X=5}`

*The answer must have A POSITIVE SIGN ONLY!*

Explanation:

First, you subtract by 1 from both sides of an equation.

`3x+1-1=8x-24-1`

Add/Subtract by the numbers from left/right.

`24+1=25`

`3x=8x-25`

Then, you subtract by 8x from both sides of an equation.

`3x-8x=8x-25-8x`

Simplify equation.

`-5x=-25`

Divide by -5 from both sides of an equation.

`(-5x)/(-5)=(-25)/(-5)`

Divide by the numbers from left/right.

`-25/-5=5`

Final answer is →
`\boxed{X=5}`

Hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

3x+1 =8x -24

3x -8x +1 = -24

-5x +1 = -24

-5x = -24 -1

-5x = -25

x = -25/-5 = 5

x = 5
