Question

$24x - 8(2x + 8) = 6x - (2 - x) - 72$
​

Answer 1

24x - 8 ( 2x + 8 ) = 6x - ( 2 - x ) - 72

24x - 16x - 64 = 6x - ( 2 - x ) - 72

8x - 64 = 6x - ( 2 - x ) - 72

8x - 64 = 6x - 2 - ( - x ) - 72

8x - 64 = 6x - 2 + x - 72

8x - 64 = 7x - 2 - 72

8x - 64 = 7x - 74

8x - 64 - 7x = - 74

x - 64 = - 74

x = - 74 + 64

x = - 10
