Question

Solve for X: 1/3 (2x - 8)=4.

Answer 1

x=10

Explanation:

1/3(2x-8)=4

2/3x-8/3=4

2/3x=20/3

x=30/3

x=10

Answer 2

x = 10

Explanation:

1/3 (2x - 8)=4.

Multiply each side by 3

1/3 *3(2x - 8)=4.*3

2x-8 = 12

Add 8 to each side

2x-8+8 =12+8

2x = 20

Divide each side by 2

2x/2= 20/2

x = 10
