Pls help me on this question

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

Choice C: x + 8 = 3x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve this question by simplifying each answer choice:

a) 4x = 20

Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 = 20/4

x = 5. This is incorrect.

b) x/2 = 8

Multiply both sides by 2:

x = 16. This is incorrect.

c) x + 8 = 3x

Subtract x from both sides:

8 = 2x

Divide 2 from both sides:

x = 4. This is correct.

d) x = x+5 /2

Multiply both sides by 2:

2x = x + 5

Subtract x from both sides:

x = 5. This is incorrect.

Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.
