Respuesta :
2(x−8)=x+5x
2x - 16 = 6x
4x = 16
x = 4
answer
x = 4 to make the equation true
2x - 16 = 6x
4x = 16
x = 4
answer
x = 4 to make the equation true
remember, we can do anything to an equation as long as we do it to both sides
add like terms
2(x-8)=6x
divide both sides by 2
x-8=3x
minus x both sides
-8=2x
divide both sides by 2
-4=x
x=-4
the value of x that makes the eqaution true is -4
add like terms
2(x-8)=6x
divide both sides by 2
x-8=3x
minus x both sides
-8=2x
divide both sides by 2
-4=x
x=-4
the value of x that makes the eqaution true is -4
