shes right

anonymous · Answer

give her a medal for being right

emilyjones284 · Answer

would you mind showing me how you got that

anonymous · Answer

8 + 5x = 1008
8 + -8 + 5x = 1008 + -8
8 + -8 = 0
0 + 5x = 1008 + -8
5x = 1008 + -8
1008 + -8 = 1000
5x = 1000
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 200
