Crazy question if you answer all of the steps you get 15 points what is the value of x? justify each step. ac=32 2x 6x+8 a b c drawing not to scale ab + bc = ac 2x+6x + 8 =32 b. 8x + 8 =32 c. 8x =24 d. x =3 e.

AC = 32

2x + 6x + 8 = 32   (plug in into equation)

8x + 8 = 32 (simplify)

8x + 8 (- 8) = 32 (-8) (subtraction of equality,)
(what you do to one side, you do to the other)
8x/8 = 24/8 (division of equality)

x = 3 (answer)

hope this helps
