Question

What is the value of x that makes the given equation true?​ 2(x−8)=x+5x​

Answer 1

- 4

Explanation:

2x_16=6x

-16=6x_2x

-16=4x

divide both side by 4

x=-4

Answer 2

Simplify the right hand side:

`2(x-8)=6x`

Expand the left hand side:

`2x-16=6x`

Subtract 2x from both sides:

`-16=4x`

Divide both sides by 4:

`x=-4`
