Answer:

72

Explanation:

  1. you first have to add 6 to both sides to get 9.
  2. Next you would have to multiply 8 to both sides since its x/8.
  3. If it was 8x then you could have divided it.
  4. once you multiply 8 to both side; you should get x=9*8
  5. x=72 s your final answer.

Answer:

x = 72

Explanation:

x / 8 - 6 = 3

x / 8 = 9

x = 72

you can check it by putting 72 in the original problem...

72 / 8 - 6 = 3

72 / 8 = 9

9 = 9
