Answer:

X=12

Explanation:

3(80-9x)=X-96 Distribute 3 through the parenthesis

240-27x=x-96

Move the variable to the left side and change its sign

Move constant to the right side and change its sign

-27x-x+240=-96

collect the like terms

calculate the difference

-28x=-336

Divide both sides of the equation by -28

x=12
