Question

What is the value of x in the equation 8x - 2y = 48, when y = 4?

Answer 1

8x-2(4)=48 Then, 8x-8=48 Then, 8x=56 Then X=7


The value of x in the equation is 7.

Answer 2

x = 7

Explanation:

8x - 2y = 48

Let y=4

8x - 2(4) = 48

8x -8 = 48

Add 8 to each side

8x -8+8 = 48+8

8x = 56

8x/8 = 56/8

x = 7
