Question

What is the value of x in the equation?

Answer 1

`x=56`

Explanation:

So we have the equation:

`(2(x+4))/(3)-8=32`

First, add 8 to both sides. The left cancels:

`(2(x+4))/(3)=40`

Multiply both sides by 3. The left cancels:

`2(x+4)=120`

Divide both sides by 2:

`x+4=60`

Subtract 4 from both sides:

`x=56`

And we are done!
