Question

- 23 = 6 + 9(x-8) Can someone figure out x?​

Answer 1

-23 = 6 + 9 ( x - 8 )
-23 = 6 + 9x - 72
-23 = 9x - 66
66 - 23 = 9x
43 = 9x
4.78 = x or 43/9 = x

Answer 2

x = 43/9

Explanation:

- 23 = 6 + 9(x-8)

Distribute

-23 = 6 +9x -72

Combine like terms

-23 = 9x-66

Add 66 to each side

-23+66 = 9x -66+66

43 = 9x

Divide each side by 9

43/9 = 9x/9

43/9 =x
