Question

What is 11 = 2(8+3x)+49

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x first we have to substract 49 from both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} 11-49=2(8+3x)+49-49 \\ -38=2(8+3x) \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 2:

`\begin{gathered} -(38)/(2)=(2(8+3x))/(2) \\ -19=8+3x \end{gathered}`

Substract 8 from both sides:

`\begin{gathered} -19-8=8-8+3x \\ -27=3x \end{gathered}`

And divide both sides by 3:

`\begin{gathered} -(27)/(3)=(3x)/(3) \\ -9=x \end{gathered}`

Answer:

x = -9
