Question

What is Y=6x+8(5-7) what is Y=6x+8(5-7)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

6 x + 8 (5 - 7) = 0

5 - 7 = -2:

6 x + -2 8 = 0

8 (-2) = -16:

6 x + -16 = 0

Add 16 to both sides:

6 x + (16 - 16) = 16

16 - 16 = 0:

6 x = 16

Divide both sides of 6 x = 16 by 6:

(6 x)/6 = 16/6

6/6 = 1:

x = 16/6

The gcd of 16 and 6 is 2, so 16/6 = (2×8)/(2×3) = 2/2×8/3 = 8/3:

Answer:  x = 8/3
