Question

How to do x-8=3 Divide by3

Answer 1

Answer:

If you are doing x - 8 = 3, then x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember PEMDAS and whatever you do to one side of the equation, you have to do to the other side.

x - 8 = 3

First, add 8 to the -8 to cancel it out and isolate the variable. Since you are adding 8 to the left side of the equation, you have to add 8 to the right side as well

x - 8 + 8 = 3 + 8

Simplify.

x = 11

You can check your answer by substituting the variable.

11 - 8 = 3

This equation is true. Therefore x = 11.

Or are you referring to this? $\frac{x-8}{3} =3$
