Final answer:

The student's expression appears to contain typos, but if simplified as y = 8 * 3 + (y + 22), it results in y + 46. The value of x would therefore be 46. Without the correct expression, we can't provide an exact value for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has presented an algebraic expression to be simplified and compared to the form y = x + b. There seems to be a typo in the expression provided by the student, but assuming it is meant to be y = 8 * 3 + (y + 22), we would simplify it as follows:

  • Multiply 8 by 3 to get 24.
  • Add 22 to the result, which is y + 24 + 22.
  • Simplify this to y + 46.

Comparing y + 46 to y = x + b, the value of x would be 46. However, based on the context of learning linear equations, particularly the equation y = 9 + 3x, we can also deduce the relationship between x and y depending on the slope (m) and y-intercept (b).

Without the correct original expression, it is challenging to give an exact answer, but if one was working with y = 9 + 3x as an example, creating a table or plotting on a graph would help visualize and understand the linear relationship between x and y.
