7x+8 (x+1/4) = 3 (6x-9) - 8 need a solution for this problem

Remember to do the same thing to both sides

use distributive prpoerty which is

a (b+c) = ab+ac so

pemdas

multiplication

8 (x+1/4) = 8x+8/4=8x+2

3 (6x-9) = 18x-27

now we have7x+8x+2=18x-27-8

add like terms

15x+2=18x-35

subtract 15x from both sides

2=3x-35

add 35 to both sides

37=3x

divide both sides by 3

37/3=x

12 and 1/3=x
