Question

Solve for x. 3x/6 + 2 = 8

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{3x}{6}$ + 2 = 8 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

$\frac{3x}{6}$ = 6 ( multiply both sides by 6 )

3x = 36 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 12

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3x}{6} + 2 = 8 \\ collect \: like \: terms$

$cross \: multiply \\ \frac{3x}{6} = \frac{6}{1} \\ 3x = 6 \times 6 \\ 3x = 36$

$divide \: both \: sides \: of \: the \: equation \: by \: 3 \\ \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{36}{3} \\ x = 12$
