3(x-8) = -29.7 please solve for x

x is -1.9

Solve 3(x-8) = -29.7

Remove the brackets by dividing both sides by 3:

3(x-8) / 3 = -29.7 / 3

You will be left with:

x - 8 = -9.9

Take -8 to the other side so that you can be left with x. When you do this, the sign will change from negative to positive:

x = -9.9 + 8

x = 1.9

x is therefore -1.9

The answer is x= -1.9.

Use the 3 to multiply the number and the letter in the bracket... which is...

3x-24=-29.7.

3x=-29.7+24.

3x=-5.7.

x=-5.7/3.

x=-1.9.

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
