Question

Solve for x.
3x/6 + 2 = 8

Answer 1

`\large\bf{{\red{ \longrightarrow \:\large\rm{{\blue{ (3x)/(6) \: + \: 2 \: = \: 8 }}} }}} \\`

`\large\bf{{\red{ \longrightarrow \:\large\rm{{\blue{ (3x)/(6) \: = \: 8 \: - \: 2 }}} }}} \\`

`\large\bf{{\red{ \longrightarrow \:\large\rm{{\blue{ (3x)/(6) \: = \: 6 }}} }}} \\`

`\large\bf{{\red{ \longrightarrow \:\large\rm{{\blue{ (3x)/(6) \: + \: 6}}} }}} \\`

`\large\bf{{\red{ \longrightarrow \:\large\rm{{\blue{ (3x \: + \: 36)/(6) \:}}} }}} \\`

`\large\bf{{\red{ \longrightarrow \:\large\rm{{\blue{ \frac{3x \: + \: \cancel{36} \: \: ^(6) }{ \cancel6} \:}}} }}} \\`

`\large\bf{{\red{ \longrightarrow \:\large\rm{{\blue{ \: x \: = \: (36)/(6) }}} }}} \\`

`\large\bf{{\red{ \longrightarrow \:\large\rm{{\blue{ \: x \: = \: \cancel\frac{{36}{ \: ^(6) }} {6} }}} }}} \\`

`\large\bf{{\red{ \longrightarrow \:\large\rm{{\blue{ \: x \: = \: 6 }}} }}} \\`

Answer 2

x=12

Explanation:

3x/6 + 2 = 8

Subtract 2 from each side

3x/6 + 2-2 = 8-2

3x/6 =6

Multiply each side by 6/3

6/3 * 3/6 x = 6 *6/3

x = 36/3

x = 12
