Answer:

x=8

Explanation:

This is a simple one-step algebraic equation. In algebra, to find x you must isolate the variable. To do this, use the property of equality. This property states that an equation is still true if you do the same thing to both sides. For example, the equation would still be true if you added 1 to both sides.

To isolate x divide both sides by 6. This equals 48/6 = 6x/6. Which simplifies to 8=x.
