Since it is an equality that means the left side of the equation (x/8) has to be equal to the right side of the equation (28/32). One way you can solve for x is to isolate it. Since it’s an equality like we said you have to do to the left side the same that you would do to the right side to isolate x. So if I multiply by 8 on the left I need to also multiply by 8 on the right. So 8* (x/8) becomes just x since 8x/8 becomes 8/8 * x which is 1 *x. On the right side we do 8 *(28/32) which becomes 28 * 8/32 which becomes 7. So x = 7.

Answer:  x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x}{8} =\frac{28}{32}

We cross multiply, and we get:

32x = 8(28)

32x = 224

    x = 7

What is the GCF for each set of numbers 12 and 20
Likurg_2 [28]
4 is the GCF.

Explanation:
4x3=12
4x5=20
5 Isn’t a factor of 12, and 6 isn’t a factor of 20. Each number above doesn’t work, so the greatest common factor of the numbers 12 and 20 must be 4.

Solve for x.<br><br> −5(x−4)=−30<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
saveliy_v [14]
First divide both sides by - 5,

x - 4 = 6

Move the constant to the right side of the equation and change its sign (-4 => +4)

x = 6 + 4

Add the numbers,

x = 10
