Question

x over 6 + 2 = 8

Answer 1

hello there, are you trying to solve for x?

Answer 2

\[\frac{ x }{ 6 }+2=8\]
Start by subtracting 2 from both sides.
Then multiply both sides by 6.

Answer 3

^ The above user has set it up correctly. In the end, we are trying to get x by itself.

Do you understand what to do now? @Lexi.babyy

Answer 4

Sure.

Answer 5

okay. So the first step would look as follows:

\(\Large\frac{x}{6} +2 = 8\)
-2 -2
--------------

Answer 6

We are removing 2, so we should have this:

\(\Large\frac{x}{6}\) = 6

Answer 7

There is one final step that we need to get rid of the six under x and get the solution.

@Lexi.babyy any ideas?

Answer 8

I wanna help too! ^.^ You try and look at the 6 on the right as a fraction as well

Answer 9

Basically, just multiply both sides by 6.

X will be isolated, and you will have your solution
