Question

8 (x+8) = 100 - 13x how do i solve this?

Answer 1

x=1.714285714 or x=1.71

Explanation:

Distribute 8 to x and 8 (8x+64)

Get rid of -13x on the other side of the equation by doing +13x to both sides.

That should leave you with 21x+64=100.

Subtract 64 from both sides of the equation.

21x=36

Divide 21 from both sides which will leave you with the answer as a long decimal so round it.

x=1.71
