Three times the sum of a number and eight is four more than the number. find the number

3(x+8)=4+x

distribute the 3 by multiplying it with the x and the 8

3x+24=4+x

subtract x from both sides

2x+24=4

subtract 24 from both sides

2x=4-24

2x=-20

divide each side by 2

leaving the variable isolated

x=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to balance each side by doing the same to both sides such as at the end divide both sides by 2.
