Solve the literal equation for x. Then use the solution to solve the specific equation.

a(x+b)=c; 2(x+8)=36

Hi there,

For 2(x+8)=36, start by dividing both sides by 2 to get x+8=18. Then, subtract 8 from both sides to get x = 10. Plugging 10 back into the equation proves that x = 10.

Let me know if you have any further questions,

Elijah
