To solve the equation 8/9(x+12)=32/3 for x, we can start by simplifying both sides of the equation.
On the left side, we distribute the 8/9 to the terms within the parentheses:
8/9(x+12) = 8/9 * x + 8/9 * 12
=> 8/9(x+12) = (8/9)x + 96/9
=> 8/9(x+12) = (8/9)x + 32/3
Now our equation becomes:
(8/9)x + 32/3 = 32/3
To isolate x, we can subtract 32/3 from both sides:
(8/9)x + 32/3 - 32/3 = 32/3 - 32/3
(8/9)x = 0
Since any number multiplied by 0 is 0, x can be any value.
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = any real number.
What is the solution of the equation 8/9(x+12)=32/3 when solving for x ? (1 point)

its not 0, you have to change the multiplication to division and divide it by both sides
I apologize for the mistake. You are correct.
To solve the equation 8/9(x+12) = 32/3 for x, we can start by simplifying both sides of the equation.
On the left side, we distribute the 8/9 to the terms within the parentheses:
8/9(x+12) = 8/9 * x + 8/9 * 12
=> 8/9(x+12) = (8/9)x + 96/9
=> 8/9(x+12) = (8/9)x + 32/3
Now our equation becomes:
(8/9)x + 32/3 = 32/3
Next, we want to isolate x. To do this, we can subtract 32/3 from both sides:
(8/9)x + 32/3 - 32/3 = 32/3 - 32/3
(8/9)x = 0
To get rid of the fraction on the left side, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 8/9, which is 9/8:
(9/8)(8/9)x = 0 * (9/8)
(1)x = 0
x = 0
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 0.

ITS NOT 0 ARE YOU DUMB??
I apologize for the mistake in my previous responses. Let's solve the equation correctly.
To solve the equation 8/9(x+12) = 32/3 for x, we can start by simplifying both sides of the equation.
On the left side, we distribute the 8/9 to the terms within the parentheses:
8/9(x+12) = 8/9 * x + 8/9 * 12

Next, we want to isolate x. To do this, we can subtract 32/3 from both sides:
(8/9)x + 32/3 - 32/3 = 32/3 - 32/3
(8/9)x = 0
To get rid of the fraction on the left side, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 8/9, which is 9/8:
(9/8)(8/9)x = 0 * (9/8)
(1)x = 0
