Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
8(2x – 14) + 13 = 4x – 27
Lets go in the order of PEMDAS (Parantheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
First, distribute 8.
8(2x – 14)
[tex]8*2x=16[/tex]
[tex]8*-14=-112[/tex]
So now our equation is:
16x – 112 + 13 = 4x – 27
Now we can add. We will add 13 to -112.
[tex]-112 +13=-99[/tex]
Now our equation looks like this:
16x – 99 = 4x – 27
Now we have to try to get the variable (x) on one side of the equation.
To do this, we will subtract 4x from both sides of the equation.
16x – 99 = 4x – 27
-4x -4x
12x - 99 = -27
Now we can add 99 to -27.
[tex]99 + (-27) = 72[/tex]
Now we have
12x = 72
Our last step is to divide both sides by 12:
[tex]\frac{12x}{12}= \frac{72}{12}[/tex]
We get x = 6.
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!
Stay Brainy!
