Solve the following equation, and check your solution. Be sure to show all work in order to receive full credit. Solve 24 - 3x = -27.

x=17

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify both sides.

24+-3x=-27

-3x +24=-27

-3x +24= -51

subtract 24 from sides:

-3x+24 - 24= -27-24

soo, -3x=-51

then you divide sides by "-3"

-3x÷-3

-51÷3

X=17

b is the answer that makes most sense

step-by-step explanation:

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
