Solve for x 8x-3y=24

$8 x - 3 y = 24$

Step 1

Add $3 y$ to both sides of the equation.

$8 x = 24 + 3 y$

Step 2

Divide each term in $8 x = 24 + 3 y$ by $8$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $8 x = 24 + 3 y$ by $8$ .

$\frac{8 x}{8} = \frac{24}{8} + \frac{3 y}{8}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{8 x}{8} = \frac{24}{8} + \frac{3 y}{8}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{24}{8} + \frac{3 y}{8}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $24$ by $8$ .

$x = 3 + \frac{3 y}{8}$
