Question

6x - 8 = 16

Solve the following equation. Then place the correct number in the box provided.

Answer 1

Answer:

  x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 8 to both sides of the equation:

  6x -8 +8 = 16 +8

  6x = 24

Divide both sides of the equation by 6:

  6x/6 = 24/6

  x = 4

Answer 2

For this case we have the following equation:

$6x-8 = 16$

We must find the value of the variable "x":

Adding 8 to both sides of the equation we have:

$6x = 16 + 8\\6x = 24$

Dividing between 6 on both sides of the equation we have:

$x = \frac {24} {6}\\x = 4$

Thus, the solution of the equation is$x = 4$

Answer:

$x = 4$
