Question

solve the following equation. Then place the correct number in the box provided. x/9+8=8

What does x equal?

Answer 1

So we have the following equation:

$\frac{x}{9}+8=8$

In order to start solving this, we need x on one side by itself. So let's subtract 8 from both sides:

$\frac{x}{9}=0$

Then, in order to get x, we need to multiply both sides by the number that x is being divided by - in this case, 9. Let's do that:

$9(\frac{x}{9})=0(9)$

$x=0$

So now we know that the value of x is 0.
