Answer 2

Answer:

x = 16

Explanation:

Simplifying

5x + -24 = 3x + 8

Reorder the terms:

-24 + 5x = 3x + 8

Reorder the terms:

-24 + 5x = 8 + 3x

Solving -24 + 5x = 8 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

-24 + 5x + -3x = 8 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms:

5x + -3x = 2x -24 + 2x = 8 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms:

3x + -3x = 0 -24 + 2x = 8 + 0 -24 + 2x = 8

Add '24' to each side of the equation.

-24 + 24 + 2x = 8 + 24

Combine like terms:

-24 + 24 = 0 0 + 2x = 8 + 24 2x = 8 + 24

Combine like terms:

8 + 24 = 32 2x = 32

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 16

Simplifying

x = 16
