Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

Subtract 2/4 from both sides

x + 2/4 (-2/4) = 8/4 (-2/4)j

x = 8/4 - 2/4

Simplify

x = (8 - 2)/4

x = 6/4

Simplify. Change the improper fraction into mixed fraction

x = 6/4 = (4/4 + 2/4) = 1 2/4

1 2/4 simplified = 1 1/2

1 1/2 is your answer
