Simplify and solve for x. 5(x + 8) = 9x + 8

X = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x + 8) = 9x + 8

multiply the left side to become:

5x + 40 = 9x + 8

move x's to one side and the other whole numbers to the other side:

40-8 = 9x - 5x

32 = 4x

Divide by 4 to both side so that x is by itself:

32/4 = x

8 = x

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute the 5 among the x and 8 in the paraenthees

2. Subtract 8 from both sides (put together like terms to 40)

3. Subtract 5x from both sides (put together like terms)

4. Divide x (4x) by 32.

Hope this helps! :

3 1/3 x 2 3/5 = 8 2/3

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply the first number by the second number to get your answer.
