Question

Solve for x. −8(−3+x)=−56 Enter your answer in the box. x =

Answer 1

x=10

Explanation:

Distributive property,

-8*-3+-8*x=-56

24+-8x=-56

Invers,

24-24+-8x=-56-24

-8x=-80

Divide,

-8x/-8=-80/-8

x=10

Hope this answer has helped, have a good day.

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

-8(-3+x) = -56

Use distributive property

-8*(-3) + x*(-8) = -56

24 - 8x = 56

Subtract 24 from both sides

-8x = -56 - 24

-8x = -80

Divide both sides by (-8)

x = -80/-8

x = 10
