Hi GlaxyCraft4991,
Solution:
9/2(8−x) + 36 = 102 − 5/2(3x+24)
(9/2)(8) + (9/2) (−x) + 36= 102 + −15/2x + −60 (Distribute)
36+ −9/2x + 36 = 102 + −15/2x + −60
(−9/2x) + (36 + 36) = (−15/2x) + (102 + −60)(Combine Like Terms)
−9/2x + 72 = −15/2x + 42
−9/2x + 72 + 15/2x = −15/2x + 42 + 15/2x
3x + 72 = 42
3x + 72 − 72 = 42 − 72
3x = −30
3x/3 = −30/3
x = -10
Answer:
x = -10
