Question

Solve for x.8(2x+3)=40

Answer 1

To solve for x, you need to isolate x on one side of the equation. Here's how you can do it:

8(2x + 3) = 40

First, distribute the 8 to the terms inside the parentheses:

16x + 24 = 40

Next, subtract 24 from both sides to isolate the x term:

16x = 40 - 24

Simplifying,

16x = 16

Finally, divide both sides by 16 to solve for x:

x = 16/16

x = 1
