2x+8(x+3) = 3(x-13)

please show the work, i’ll mark brainliest

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 8( x + 3 ) = 3( x - 13 )

Dstribute;

2x + 8 ( x + 3 ) = 3 ( x - 13 )

2x + ((8)(x)) + ((8)(3)) = ((3)(x)) - ((13)(3))

2x + 8x + 24 = 3x - 39

Combine like terms;

2x + 8x + 24 = 3x - 39

10x + 24 = 3x - 39

Inverse operations;

10x + 24 = 3x - 39

-3x            -3x

7x + 24 = -39

     -24     -24

7x = - 63

/7       /7

x = -9
