Question

Solve for X
2X + 8 = 24

Answer 1

`x=8`

Explanation:

1. Subtract eight on both sides to get 2x by itself.

`2x(+8-8)=(24-8)`

`2x=16`

2. Divide by 2 on both sides to get x by itself.

`(2x)/(2) =(16)/(2)`

`x=8`

The value of x in 2x+8=24 is 8.

Answer 2

Answer: X=8

subtract 8 from 24, divide it by two.
