Question

X/5 -8=4 find the value of x

Answer 1

x=60

Explanation:

I'm assuming you meant this: (x/5)-8=4

In which case you would add 8 to both sides to get rid of the 8 on the left (your goal is to get x by itself so you want to move the numbers on the x side to the other side of the equal sign)

(x/5)=12

Then you would multiply 5 on both sides to get rid of the fraction with the 5 on the bottom on the left side.

x=60

There's your answer.
