If 8x+16=48 then what does x equal?
Jen and I showed you how to solve a similar equation. Now it's your turn.
How do you think you should solve this problem?
um im not sure i don't really understand how to do this i got 32 but im not sure if its right though
You're right so far.
8x = 32
That means that 8 times an unknown number is 32.
The next step is to divide both sides of the equation by 8. That will give you what x equals.
To find the value of x in the equation 8x + 16 = 48, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Start with the equation: 8x + 16 = 48.
Step 2: Subtract 16 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x. This gives us: 8x + 16 - 16 = 48 - 16, which simplifies to 8x = 32.
Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x. This gives us: 8x/8 = 32/8, which simplifies to x = 4.
So, x equals 4.
