Sagot :

answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

8+ (2x) = 8*(x-5)

8*(x-5) applies to the distributive law : a(b-c) = ab-ac

a=8 b=x c=5

8x-8*5

8x-40

then add 8+(2x) back into the equation and you have

8+(2x) = 8x-40

subtract 8

2x=8x-48

subtract 8x

-6x=-48

divide by -6

x=8

check work by plugging it in to the provided info-

8*2 = 16

16+8 = 24

8-5 = 3

3*8=  24

x=8
