We have to use the Distributive Property in this equation.
By the Distributive Property,
[tex]8(x+2)=36 [/tex]
becomes
[tex]8x+16=36.[/tex]
Now we need to isolate x. Remember PEMDAS?
[tex]8x=20[/tex]
[tex]x=20/8[/tex]
Simplify the right side.
[tex]x=10/4[/tex]
[tex]x=5/2[/tex]

Use the distributive property and multiply 8 with x an 8 with 2 which will give you 8x + 16 = 36
subtract 16 on both sides which gives you 8x = 20
divide 8 on both sides which gives you x = 2 4/20 or 2 1/5
X=2 1/5
subtract 16 on both sides which gives you 8x = 20
divide 8 on both sides which gives you x = 2 4/20 or 2 1/5
X=2 1/5
