Question

help please(: 1 over 3 (2x − 8) = 4

Answer 1

\[\frac{1}{3(2x-8)}=4\]
What do you suggest from here?

Answer 2

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3(2x-8) }=4\]

Use distributive property to evaluate your denominator

Answer 3

@Limitless its 1 over 3 and next to (2x − 8) = 4

Answer 4

\[\frac{1}{3}(2x-8)=4\]
What do you suggest from here?

Answer 5

@Limitless distributing?

Answer 6

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }(2x-8)=4\]

1)Multiply both sides by 3

Answer 7

@sylinan Sure. Then what?

Answer 8

@hba doesnt it cancel out?

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

You get \[\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{8}{3}=4.\]

Answer 11

@Limitless

Stop complicating it.

Answer 12

im getting confused ):

Answer 13

Multiply your question by 3

Answer 14

@hba Complicating it would be using the Taylor series for \(x\). I apologize for replying when she was talking to you; I misread the post.

Answer 15

@sylinan \[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }(2x-8)=4\]

Multiply both sides by 3.

Answer 16

\[3 \times\frac { 1 }{ 3 }(2x-8)=4 \times 3\]

Answer 17

@sylinan

I know you can do it now :)

Answer 18

@hba okay so far i got 3(2x-8)=12

Answer 19

Now see this

\[\ \cancel 3 \times \frac{ 1 }{\ \cancel 3 }(2x-8)=4 \times 3\]

Answer 20

so then its 1(2x-8)=12?

Answer 21

Now add both sides by 8

Answer 22

i thought i was suposed to do distribute the one?

Answer 23

It doesn't make a diff

It will stay the same :)

Answer 24

true okay so i got x=10?

Answer 25

Yeaahhhh :D

Answer 26

You are right :P

Answer 27

thank you (: help me with one more?(:

Answer 28

Sure,Please post your question in a new tab :)
