Question

Which equation can be used to solve x/8 = 5? (ANSWER AND YOU GET 50 POINTS)

x = 5 • 8
x = 5 + 8
x = 5 ÷ 8
x = 5 – 8

Answer 1

A. x=5*8

Explanation:

Isolate the term of x from one side of the equation.

`\sf{(x)/(8)=5 }`

First, you have to multiply by 8 from both sides.

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{(8x)/(8)=5*8 }`

Solve.

Multiply the numbers from left to right.

5*8=40

`\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{x=40}}`

Therefore, the correct answer is "A. x=5*8".
