Question

solve 2 ( x-3 ) - 8 =3​

Answer 1

Answer:

2x -6-8 = 3

2x-14 = 3

2x = 3+14

2x = 17

x = 17/2

= 8.5

Answer is 8.5

value of x is 8.5

Answer 2

$\huge \pink{ \underline{ \overline{ \mid{heya \: mate}}}} \pink{ \underline{\overline{ \mid}}}$

Distribute

2(−3)−8=3

{\color{#c92786}{2(x-3)}}-8=32(x−3)−8=3

2−6−8=3

Subtract the numbers

2−6−8=3

2x{\color{#c92786}{-6}}{\color{#c92786}{-8}}=32x−6−8=3

2−14=3

Add 

14

1414

 to both sides of the equation

2−14=3

2x-14=32x−14=3

2−14+14=3+14

Simplify

Add the numbers

Add the numbers

2=17

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

2=17

2x=172x=17

22=172

\frac{2x}{{\color{#c92786}{2}}}=\frac{17}{{\color{#c92786}{2}}}22x=217

Simplify

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

=172

Solution

=172
