Question

Just some simple help

Answer 1

x = -48

Explanation:

3/8 x - 6 = -24

Add 6 to each side

3/8 x - 6+6 = -24+6

3/8 x = -18

Multiply each side by 8/3 to isolate x

8/3 * 3/8x = 8/3 *-18

x = -48

Let check

3/8 (-48) -6 = -24

-18 - 6 = -24

-24=-24

This checks so this is the solution
