How do you solve #8( 7x - 1) + 8x = 376#?

Answer 1

Eva Adamson

# x = 6#

#8( 7x - 1) + 8x = 376# #8 xx 7x - 8 xx 1 + 8x = 376# #56x - 8 + 8x = 376# #64x = 384# # x = 384/64# # x = 6#

To solve the equation 8(7x - 1) + 8x = 376:

Distribute 8 across the parentheses: 56x - 8 + 8x = 376
Combine like terms: 64x - 8 = 376
Add 8 to both sides: 64x = 384
Divide both sides by 64: x = 6
