Answer :
So first you would distribute the 3 into the (-8x) not the +8
-24x+8=80
Now you move the 8 to the other side of the equal sign and subtract
-24x=80-8
-24x=72
Now u divide to solve for x
-24x/-24=72/-24
x=-3
-24x+8=80
Now you move the 8 to the other side of the equal sign and subtract
-24x=80-8
-24x=72
Now u divide to solve for x
-24x/-24=72/-24
x=-3
