Question

Which value of x from the set {4, 5, 6, 7}, makes this equation true?

4(8 − x) = 8

Answer 1

Six

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`4(8-x)`

In order to find the answer, we will solve the equation by using order of operations.


`4(8-x)`

`x=6`

`4(8-6)`

`(8-6)=2`

`4*2=8`

`8`

Which means in order for the equation to equal eight, we have to substitute x for "6" or the third option.

Hope this helps.
