Question

Solve 2x-8/4 = 5. Show your work.

Answer 1

is it (2x-8)/4? or2x-(8/4)

Answer 2

2x - 8 / 4 appears like a fractin.

Answer 3

If as problem follows, then 8/4 is first, which equals 2.
Then 2x-2=5
+2 on both sides to isolate x
2x=7
divide by 2 on both sides
x=7/2 or 3 and 1/2

Answer 4

I know the answer is 14 I just don't know how to get to the answer.

Answer 5

ohhhh
so (2x-8)/4=5
multiply by 4 on both sides to isolate x
5 times 4 = 20
2x-8=20
plus 8 on both sides
20+8=28
2x=28
divide by 2 on both sides
28/2=14
x=14
