Question

What is the value of x?

6 + 8x
-------------- = 5x
2

A) -2
B) -1
C) 1/3
D) 3

Answer 1

I just took the test the answer is D.3

Answer 2

The ans is choice D. since there nothing under 5x, imagine there is a 1 under. After that, you can simply cross multiply, so it would be 1(6+8x)= 2(5x). 6+8x= 10x now combine like terms so subtract 8x from both sides and divide 6 by 2 and you will get 3
