Question
Solve the equation
x=11637
Alternative Form
x≈0.318966
Evaluate
8(5−3x)−4×23x=3

Evaluate
8(5−3x)−92x−3
Expand the expression
More Steps

Calculate
8(5−3x)
Apply the distributive property
8×5−8×3x
Multiply the numbers
40−8×3x
Multiply the numbers
40−24x
40−24x−92x−3
Subtract the numbers
37−24x−92x
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
−24x−92x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−24−92)x
Subtract the numbers
−116x
37−116x
37−116x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−116x=0−37
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−116x=−37
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
116x=37
Divide both sides
116116x=11637
Solution
x=11637
Alternative Form
x≈0.318966
