Question

What is the solution to the equ a t i o n to x + 8 equals 28

Answer 1

`2x+8=28`

First we have to substract 8 from both terms. This way the 8 in the left term disappears:

`\begin{gathered} 2x=28-8 \\ 2x=20 \end{gathered}`

And now we divide both terms by 2, so that in the left term we only have x:

`x=(20)/(2)=10`

The answer is the first option, x = 10
