A. Simply x + 8 to 8x.
B. Distribute the 4.
C. Subtract x from both sides.
D. Subtract 8 from both sides.

B. Distribute the 4
4x+32=34-2x
4x+2x=34-32
6x=2
X=2/6
X=1/3

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. if you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
