Answer: x = 13
Step-by-step explanation: the equation to solve this is:
4 × (4 + 8) = 3 × (3 + x)
so we solve the first half of that:
4 × (4 + 8)
4 × 12
48
now we have:
48 = 3 × (3 + x)
so we switch the sides to make it easier and solve
3 × (3 + x) = 48
divide both sides by 3
3 × (3 + x) ÷ 3 = 48 ÷ 3
and get
3 + x = 16
now subtract 3 from both sides
3 + x = 16
-3 -3
and finally we get
x = 13
hope this helped :)
