Question

Three more than the product of a number and 8 is 6

Answer 1

x=
`(3)/(8)`

Explanation:

The sentence in number form is 8x+3=6

Solving for x.

You use inverse operations to cancel out the 3 on the left side.

What you do on one side of the equal sign you must do to the other side.

8x+3-3=6-3

Thus, you are left with 8x=3.

The inverse operation you use next to get x by itself is division. This cancels out the 8 on the left.

`(8x)/(8)`=
`(3)/(8)`

You are left with x=
`(3)/(8)`

Answer 2

3 > x * 8 = 6

Explanation:

three (3) more than ( > ) the product ( * ) of a number (x) and 8 (8) is (=) 6

Hope this helps :)
