Respuesta :
(-8+x)/4=2
*4 to both sides to isolate the parenthesis
-8+x=8
+8 to both sides to isolate the variable
x=16
*4 to both sides to isolate the parenthesis
-8+x=8
+8 to both sides to isolate the variable
x=16
Answer:
x = 16 or [tex]\frac{-8 + x}{4} = 2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
let's start from the beginning and move along!
- the sum (+) of negative eight (-8) and a number (x) ----> (-8 + x)
- divided by four (/4)
- is two = 2
[tex]\frac{-8 + x}{4}[/tex] = 2
to solve this...
1) multiply both sides by four to get rid of the fraction
[tex](4)\frac{-8 + x}{4} = 2(4)[/tex] ------> -8 + x = 8
2) add 8 to both sides to isolate x ----> x = 16
