Question

Solve for x: 1 over 3 (2x − 8) = 4

Answer 1

(1/3)(2x-8)=4
(2/3)x-(8/3)=4
add 8/3
(2/3)x=6 2/3
divide by 2/3 or multiply by 3/2 (still gat same answer)
x=10

Answer 2

thx

Answer 3

i got x=28/6 too

Answer 4

you might of done something wrong @UltimateTopSpeed @nonamenever because x=10
try plugging in 28/6 into the equation and see if you get 4

Answer 5

@UltimateTopSpeed, is totally right!

Answer 6

on my mutiple choice it does not have 28/6

Answer 7

but it did have 10

Answer 8

b.c you can simplify that fraction

Answer 9

how would you rediuce 28/6

Answer 10

by2

Answer 11

it had 10 over 3 as a choice 2

Answer 12

it should be just 10

Answer 13

however if you plug in 10 in the equation, that doesnt seem to b right..it ends up being 1/36=4

Answer 14

dats not a choice in it tho

Answer 15

@lulu22, try to reduce the 28/6, is that reduced fraction one of the choices?

Answer 16

what are all the answer choices?

Answer 17

no because
(1/3)*(2(10)-8)=4
(1/3)*(20-8)=4
(1/3)*12=4
4=4

Answer 18

i submitted the test he was right it is 10 i got it right
