Question

1=1/4(2x+8).solve for x

Answer 1

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation

`1=(1)/(4)(2x+8)`

Step 1

multiply both sides by 4,

`\begin{gathered} 1=(1)/(4)(2x+8) \\ 1\cdot4=(1)/(4)(2x+8)\cdot4 \\ 4=2x+8 \end{gathered}`

Step 2

subtract 8 in both sides

`\begin{gathered} 4=2x+8 \\ 4-8=2x+8-8 \\ -4=2x \end{gathered}`

Step 3

divide both sides by 2

`\begin{gathered} -4=2x \\ (-4)/(2)=(2x)/(2) \\ -2=x \end{gathered}`
