Question

Determine the solution for the following equation: (8x-8)2/3=64

x = 3
x = 5
x = 13
x = 65

Answer 1

Answer: x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Re-order the terms so constants are on the left

(8x-8)•2÷ 3=64

to

2(8x-8)÷3-64

2. Distribute

2(8x-8)÷3= 64

to

16x-16÷3=64

3. Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

16x-16÷3=64

to

3•16x-16=3•64

Answer 2

Answer: x = 13

Explanation:

first you plug in 13 for x which will give you 96 ( 8 times 13 = 104, 104-8 = 96)

then next, you multiply 96 by 2/3, which will eventually =64
