Math Problem Statement
Solution
The equation shown in the image is:
Let's solve this linear equation for .
First, we want to get all terms involving on one side of the equation and the constant terms on the other side. We'll subtract from both sides:
Next, subtract 8 from both sides to isolate the term with :
Now, divide both sides by 3 to solve for :
So, the solution to the equation is:
Would you like any further details or have any questions? Here are some additional questions you might consider:
- How do you solve equations with variables on both sides?
