Answer 1

Answer : x=0.0525

0.42 x 8 = 0.0525

Answer 2

x= 3.36

Explanation:

We simplify the equation to the form: (x/8)=.42

Simplifying: ( + 0.125x)=.42

Remove parentheses: + 0.125x=.42

move all terms containing x to the left: + 0.125x=0.42

Simplify left and right side of the equation: + 0.125x=0.42

Last, divide both sides of the equation by 0.125 to get x: x=3.36
