Simplify and solve for x. 5(x + 8) = 9x + 8

X = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x + 8) = 9x + 8

multiply the left side to become:

5x + 40 = 9x + 8

move x's to one side and the other whole numbers to the other side:

40-8 = 9x - 5x

32 = 4x

Divide by 4 to both side so that x is by itself:

32/4 = x

8 = x

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute the 5 among the x and 8 in the paraenthees

2. Subtract 8 from both sides (put together like terms to 40)

3. Subtract 5x from both sides (put together like terms)

4. Divide x (4x) by 32.

Hope this helps! :

where are the options?

step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this you!
