Question

2x-5

-------- = 2

8


(2x-5/8 = 2)

Answer 1

Explanation:

2×-5=-8 and 2×-5/8=-1.25

Answer 2

x = 10.5

Explanation:

I'll assume this is the equation: (2x-5)/8 = 2

(2x-5)/8 = 2

(2x-5) = 16 [Multiply both sides by 8]

2x = 21 [Add 5 to both sides]

x = (21/2) [Divide both sides by 2]

or x = 10.5
