Hope this helps u.....

Answer 2

Answer:

1 Subtract 22 from both sides.

8(x+3)=42-28(x+3)=42−2

2 Simplify 42-242−2 to 4040.

8(x+3)=408(x+3)=40

3 Divide both sides by 88.

x+3=\frac{40}{8}x+3=

8

40

4 Simplify \frac{40}{8}

8

40

to 55.

x+3=5x+3=5

5 Subtract 33 from both sides.

x=5-3x=5−3

6 Simplify 5-35−3 to 22.

x=2x=2
