Solve for x. Show each step of the solution.

4 (8-x)-33=98-5 (3x+24)

Answer 1

The value of x is -108.33.

Explanation:

Given : Expression
`4.5(8-x)-33=98-2.5(3x+24)`

To find : Solve for x?

Solution :

Step 1 - Write the expression,

`4.5(8-x)-33=98-2.5(3x+24)`

Step 2 - Apply distributive property,
`a(b+c)=ab+ac`

`4.5* 88-4.5x-33=98-2.5* 3x-2.5* 24`

Step 3 - Solve,

`396-4.5x-33=98-7.5x-60`

`363-4.5x=38-7.5x`

`-4.5x+7.5x=38-363`

`3x=-325`

`x=-(325)/(3)`

`x=-108.33`

Therefore, The value of x is -108.33.
