X equals 10 because 8*10 is 80 so 8*x=80

Hey there!

10 * 8 = 8 * e

10 * 8 = 80

80 = 8 * e

8 * e = 80

8e = 80

DIVIDE 8 to BOTH SIDES

8e/8 = 80/8

CANCEL out: 8/8 because that gives you 1

KEEP: 80/8 because that gives the value of x

x = 80/8

80/8 = x

10 = x

x = 10

Therefore your answer is: 10

Because, 10 * 8 = 8 * 10

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
