Question

What is the value of x that makes the given equation true?​ 2(x−8)=x+5x​

Answer 1

Answer:

- 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x_16=6x

-16=6x_2x

-16=4x

divide both side by 4

x=-4

Answer 2

Simplify the right hand side:

$2(x-8)=6x$

Expand the left hand side:

$2x-16=6x$

Subtract 2x from both sides:

$-16=4x$

Divide both sides by 4:

$x=-4$
