Question

Please Solve 16 = 8+x

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

To find x you need to do the inverse of addition which is subtraction.

So you you would subtract 8 by itself to isolate x.

8 - 8 = 0

Now whatever you do to one side of the equation you have to do to the other.

So, 16 - 8 = 8

x = 8

Answer 2

8 = x

Explanation:

16 = 8+x

Subtract 8 from each side

16-8 = 8-8+x

8 = x
