Question

How to solve this
3 = (2x + 8)/3​

Answer 1

x=1/2 or 0.5

Explanation:

(2x+8)/3=3

(2x+8)=3x3

(2x+8)=9

2x=9-8

2x=1

x=1/2

x=0.5

Answer 2

x = 1/2

Explanation:

First you want to get rid of the fraction, so you can multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

9 = 2x + 8

Then, subtract 8 from both sides to get x by itself.

1 = 2x

Finally, divide both sides by 2 so you only have one x

1/2 = x

This means that the answer is x = 1/2.
