Question

What is the solution to the equation? 8x = 32 A.x = 3 B.x = 24 C.x = 4 D.x = 25

Answer 1

The answer to your question is x=8 because 8 divided 32 is 4

Answer 2

Let's see -

There are 2 ways we can do this -

Way 1) You can multiply each of your answers by 8 and see which one equals 32.

8 × 3 = 24 This would not be correct.

8 × 24 = 192 Wow! This is way bigger than 32!

8 × 4 = 32 Now we don't have to try multiplying 8 by 25 since we have our answer -

x = 4

Way 2) This way is so much faster, but you can use any way you'd like -

This was is just dividing 8 by 32 and seeing what you get.

8 ÷ 32 = 4

x = 4
