Question

Solve: 8x+6=38

Answer 1

No, it's subtracting 6 from 38 b/c when you took the 6 off the other side, you were subtracting it, so you have to do it to both sides.

Answer 2

So, it becomes 8x = 38 - 6, or 8x = 32

Answer 3

Do you got that?

Answer 4

no im confused

Answer 5

Ok, since it's +6 on the left side, and subtracting is the opposite of adding (just like multiplying is the opposite of dividing), you subtract 6 from both sides.

Answer 6

sorry for that \[8x=38-6=32\] now divide both sides by 8

Answer 7

Do you get it so far?

Answer 8

so 38-6

Answer 9

equals 32.

Answer 10

so its 8x=32

Answer 11

which equals 4

Answer 12

Yeah, you got it.

Answer 13

So, x = 4.

Answer 14

divide 8 on both sides and then add that answer by 6, the answer should be x=4
