Question

Plz help me I do not understand this Plz show your work 4x-8=16

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

First, add 8 to both sides.

4x - 8 = 16

4x - 8 + 8 = 16 + 8

4x = 24

Then, divide 4 from each side.

4x ÷ 4 = 24 ÷ 4

x = 6

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

Well to solve for x in,

4x - 8 = 16

We use the commutative property which is the moving of numbers and variables to either side of the equation.

So 4x - 8 = 16

+8 to both sides

4x = 24

Divide 4 by both sides

x = 6

Thus,

x is 6.

Hope this helps :)
