Question

−7 + 3(8n − 8) = 8(7 + 3n) please show work

Answer 1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−7+3(8n−8)=8(7+3n)

−7+(3)(8n)+(3)(−8)=(8)(7)+(8)(3n)(Distribute)

−7+24n+−24=56+24n

(24n)+(−7+−24)=24n+56(Combine Like Terms)

24n+−31=24n+56

24n−31=24n+56

Step 2: Subtract 24n from both sides.

24n−31−24n=24n+56−24n

−31=56

Step 3: Add 31 to both sides.

−31+31=56+31

0=87
