Question

Solve: 8 + x/3 = 1/6 (x-6) -1

A. x = 60
B. x = -60
C. x = -36
D. There are infinitely many solutions ​

Answer 1

Answer: B -60

Step-by-step explanation: When you plug in -60 into the equation it all equals out into -12 = -12, which is true. All of the other solutions don't work.

Answer 2

B. x = -60

Explanation:

8 + x/3 = 1/6 (x-6) - 1

Multiply both sides by 6.

48 + 2x = x - 6 - 6

x = -12 - 48

x = -60
