Question

Solve the equation. 8(x + 6) = 43 What is the value of x?​

Answer 1

-5/8 or -0.625

Explanation:

divide both sides by 8

`(8(x+6))/(8) =(43)/(8)`

Simplify

`x+6 = (43)/(8)`

Subtract 6 from both sides

`x+6 - 6 = (43)/(8) -6`

Convert the fraction to decimal and simplify

`5.375 - 6 = -0.625`

Simplified:

`-(5)/(8)`
