Question

How do i solve 8x=196

Answer 1

`8x=196 \\ \\ x = (196)/(8) \ / \ divide \ each \ side \ by \ 8 \\ \\ x = (49)/(2) \ / \ simplify \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {x = 49/2} \ or \ \fbox {x = 24.5}`

Answer 2

`8x=196`
Divide both sides by 8.

`(8x)/(8) = (196)/(8)`
Cancel out the 8's on the left side and do "196/8" to get "x".

`x=24.5`
