Answer:
x=35
Explanation:
To solve this equation:
(x-8)/6=4.5
We have to find out what x is, by getting x by itself. Perform the inverse operation to the equation. Remember to perform everything to both sides.
6 is being divided by x-8. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 6.
(x-8)/6*6=4.5*6
(x-8)= 4.5*6
x-8=27
8 is being subtracted from x. The inverse of subtraction is addition. Add 8 to both sides.
x-8+8=27+8
x=35
Let’s check out solution. Plug 35 back in for x in the original equation.
(x-8)/6=4.5
(35-8)/6=4.5
27/6=4.5
4.5=4.5
Both sides of the equation are the same, so we know our solution of x=35 is correct.
