Answer:
A.) x = 12
B.) x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
A.) 2x/3 = 8
First let’s multiply both sides by three to get rid of our division equation,
2x/3 = 8
*3 *3
2x = 24
Now we divide both sides by 2 to single out our variable,
2x = 24
/2 /2
X=12
Let’s check our answer just to be sure this is correct, we do this by plugging in “12” for our x
2(12)/3 = 8
24/3 = 8
8 = 8
Now we know that x = 12 is true,
B.)3x/2 = 6
Again well will multiply both sides by 2 to remove our division equation,
3x/2 = 6
*2 *2
3x = 12
We divide both sides by 3 to remove our coefficient in front of the variable,
3x = 12
/3 /3
x=4
Let’s check our answer once again,
3x/2 = 6
3(4)/2 = 6
12/2 = 6
6 = 6
X = 4 is true
