solve the equation for x, and enter your answer in the box

Given the equation:
[tex]8x-36=-12[/tex]We will solve the equation to find (x) as follows:
First, add 36 to both sides
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8x-36+36=-12+36 \\ 8x=24 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, divide both sides by 8
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{8x}{8}=\frac{24}{8} \\ \\ x=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the answer will be x = 3
