Answer: BD = 60.34
Step-by-step explanation:
8x -33 = 2x+37
Take away 2x from both sides ( the 2x will cancel out)
= 6x - 33= 37
Add the 33 to both sides. (The -33 will cancel out)
Now you are left with 6x = 70
Divide both sides by 6.
x = 11.67 (rounded by the hundredth) (11.66666...)
Now to figure out BD your new equation is 2(11.67) + 37
After multiplying you get 23.34 + 37.
BD = 60.34
Hope this helps. This is the way I learned.
