Answer:
4(3x-8)=52
divide both sides by 4
4/4(3x-8)=52/4
3x-8=13
add both sides by 8
3x-8+8=13+8
3x=21
divide both sides by 3
3x/3=21/3
x=7

this question got asked three times =)
Answer:
52 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
You always work with your paratheses first. Work with your variable(s) to make things easier. Plug in the number given for your variable.
3(7)=21
Subtract the numbers in the paratheses once you have found the number with the variable.
21 - 8 = 13
Last step is to combine the number in the parentheses with the number(s) out of the parentheses. Depending on the equation, the number outside of the parentheses will have to be added/subtracted/multiplied/divided. In this equation, we have to multiply since there´s no given sign for multiplying. You automatically know you have to multiply because the number is right next to the parentheses.
4 * 13 = 54 or 13 * 4 = 54
I hope this helps u! :D
