Answer :

Answer: x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

in this equation

x*y+8=32

subtract 8 from both sides

x*y = 24

set y = 3

x * 3 = 24

divide both sides by 3

x = 8

This question wants us to find x when y = 3, so we replace y with 3 and solve the equation:

[tex]\sf xy+8=32[/tex]

[tex]\sf x*3+8=32[/tex]

[tex]\sf 3x+8=32[/tex]

[tex]\sf 3x=24[/tex]
