Question

Find the value of x if x/3-2=6

Answer 1

$\huge\textsf{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{x}{3}-2=6}$

$\mathsf{= \dfrac{1}{3}x - 2 = 6}$

$\textsf{ADD 2 BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{3}x - 2 + 2 = 6 + 2}$

$\textsf{CANCEL out: -2 + 2 because that gives you 1}$

$\textsf{KEEP: 6 + 2 because that helps solve for x}$

$\mathsf{6 + 2 = \boxed{\bf 8}}$

$\mathsf{NEW \ EQUATION: \dfrac{1}{3}x = 8}$

$\textsf{MULTIPLY 8 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{3\times\dfrac{1}{3}x=3\times8}$

$\mathsf{CANCEL\ out: \ 3 \times \dfrac{1}{3} \ because \ that \ gives \ you \ 1}$

$\mathsf{KEEP: \ 3 \times 8 \ because \ that\ gives \ you \ the \ value \ of \ x}$

$\mathsf{\boxed{\bf x}= 3\times8}$

$\mathsf{3\times8 = \boxed{\bf x}}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf x = 24}}}\huge\checkmark$
