Question

What is the value of x? 6+8x/2 = 5x A.-2 B.-1 C.1/3 D.3

Answer 1

To solve for the value of x, you need to get rid of the fraction first, so you have to multiply each side of the original equation by 2, which will get you 6+8x=10x. Then, you subtract both sides by 8x, which will get you 6=2x. After that, you divide each side by 2, which leaves you with 3=x. So, the answer is D.3

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is,

D. 3

Explanation:

Here, the given equation,

`(6+8x)/(2)=5x`

Multiply both sides by 2,

`6+8x = 10x`

Subtract both sides by 8x,

`6 = 2x`

Divide both sides by 2,

`3=x`

Hence, the value of x in the given equation is 3.

Therefore, OPTION D is correct.
