Question

What the answer to this equation X/8+4=5 ?

Answer 1

X= 8

1/8+4=40

multiply both sides by 8 to get rid of dividing the 8 (x/8)

bring the equation down to: x+32=40

X=40-32 you move constants to the left side and the sign turns negative

Solve: X=8

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to this equation is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{8} +4=5$

First: Subtract

$8-4=4$

$5 > 4$ meaning that 5 is greater than 4.

You still need another number to make it equal than or greater than or equal to five.

$5-4=1$

Since 5 minus 4 does equal 1

You need somewhere to divide it from to get 1 so you can add up the 4 to it and get the answer to the equation.

Lastly: Divide

$\frac{8}{8} =1$

$1+4=5\\5=5\\4\neq 5$

Now, if you do 8/8 which equals 1, 1+4 = 5; Now everything is, equaled up!

So in conclusion...

$\frac{x}{8} +4=5\\x=8\\\frac{8}{8}=1\\1+4=5\\5\neq5$
