Question

Solve the equation then write how many solutions there is in this problem: 8x-3+14=24x+5

Answer 1

x = 0.375

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

8x − 3 + 14 = 24x + 5

(8x) + (−3 + 14) = 24x + 5

8x + 11 = 24x + 5

- 24

-16x + 11 = 5

-11

-16x = -6

-16x/-16 = -6/-16

x = 3/8

x = 0.375
