What is the solution of the equation 89(x+12)=323 when solving for x ?

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Here's how:

89(x + 12) = 323

Expanding the equation by distributing the 89:

89x + 89(12) = 323

Multiplying:

89x + 1068 = 323

Next, we subtract 1068 from both sides of the equation:

89x = 323 - 1068

Simplifying:

89x = -745

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 89:

x = -745/89

So the solution to the equation 89(x + 12) = 323 is x = -745/89.
