Answer:
x = - 80
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 6 = [tex]\frac{x}{8}[/tex] + 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
- 10 = [tex]\frac{x}{8}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 8 )
- 80 = x
[tex]\large\boxed{x=-80}[/tex]
In this question, we're trying to get x by itself, so we know what the value of x equals to.
We would do simple adding / subtracting / multiplying.
Solve:
[tex]-6 = \frac{x}{8} + 4\\\\\text{The first thing we can do is subtract 4 on both sides, in order to get the} \\\frac{x}{8}\,\text{by itself}\\\\-10=\frac{x}{8}\\\\\text{To get x by itself, we would multiply by 8 since the opposite of divison is}\\\text{ multiplication}\\\\-80=x[/tex]
When you're done solving, you should get -80
This means that x = -80
