Question

How do I solve this problem? With steps please.6x/3-2x/3+8/3=8

Answer 1

So the left side has a common denominator of 3. The 6x, -2x, and 8 can all go over a single 3. (6x-2x+8/3). Simplify the x's to get 4x. Now both sides have to be multiplied by 3 to get rid of that fraction. Then you just have 4x+8=24. Subtract 8 from both sides to get the x's alone, then divide both sides by 4 to get x alone. I have a picture to help. 

Answer 2

(6x/3)-(2x/3)+(8/3)=8
(2x)-(.6x)+(2.6)=8
1.4x=5.4     Divide 5.4 by 1.4 to get x by itself
x=3.8
