Question

I am trying to simplify the expression 8x+4x+2x/2x

Wouldthe answer be:
A: 6
B: 7
C: 12x
D: 7x

Answer 1

The answer to the equation is 7x.

Explanation:

How can we solve this?

First, add the beginning two values

8x + 4x =

12x

Now, add 12x to 2x.

12 + 2 = 14

14x

14x/2x

Now, we need to simplify it more.

14x/2x =

7x

So, the answer is 7x.

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{(8x + 4x + 2x)/(2x)}`

`\large\text{COMBINE the LIKE TERMS}`

`\mathsf{= ((8x + 4x + 2x))/((2x))}`

`\mathsf{= (8x + 4x + 2x)/(2x)}`

`\mathsf{= (12x + 2x)/(2x)}`

`\mathsf{= (14x)/(2x)}`

`\large\text{CANCEL out the x in each of the numbers because we do \bf not}\\\\\large\text{need them anymore}`

`\mathsf{= (14x)/(2x)}`

`\mathsf{= (14)/(2)}`

`\mathsf{= 14/2}`

`\mathsf{= 7}`

`\huge\text{Therefore your answer should be:}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{7}}\huge\checkmark`
