Question

Solve for x. x + 2 over 4 = 8​

Answer 1

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{x +2}{4}=8}$

$\large\textsf{MULTIPLY 4 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{x +2}{4}\times4=8\times4}$

$\large\textsf{CANCEL out: 4}\times\large\textsf{4.}$

$\large\textsf{KEEP: 8}\times\large\textsf{4 because it helps you solve for x}$

$\mathsf{8\times4=\bf 32}$

$\large\text{New equation: \textsf{x + 32 = \bf 32}}$

$\large\textsf{x + 2 = 32}$

$\large\textsf{SUBTRACT 2 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{x +2-2=32-2}$

$\large\textsf{CANCEL out: 2}-\large\textsf{2 because that gives you 0}$

$\large\textsf{KEEP: 32}-\large\textsf{2 because that helps you solve for x}$

$\large\textsf{New EQUATION: \mathsf{x = 32 - 2}}$

$\mathsf{x = 32 - 2}$

$\large\textsf{Simplify above and you have your result to this equation}$

$\mathsf{32-2=\bf 30}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf x =30}}}\huge\checkmark$

$\large\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
