Which value for x makes the sentence true
1/8(x-56)=7/8

Answer 1

Answer: 63

explaination: i typed it into desmos

Answer 2

63.

Explanation:

To solve this equation, we will first need to multiply both sides by 8 to get rid of the coefficient:

8×
`(1)/(8)`(x-56)=
`(7)/(8)`×8

Now, this will get rid of the fractions, giving us:

x-56= 7

Next, simply add 56 to both sides:

x-56+56= 7+56

This results in:

x=63.
