Question

solve the following equations 4x - 8 = 32

Answer 1

okay, first off we need to know how much 4x should be.

so we add 32 and 8 which makes 40.

now, we find the number where if you multiply if to 4 it makes 40,

which is 10

so x = 10

4x - 8 = 32 is equal to

4 x 10 - 8 = 32

Answer 2

Hello there!

To do this, just remember that, generally, you want to leave the terms with variables last.

So add 8 to both sides FIRST.


4x = 32+8
4x = 40

Since x is next to 4, (no + or - ), you would divide x by 4!

4x = 40
x = 40/ 4
x = 10

In problems like these, generally you don't need units, but if there are units, put them in. :)

Overall, x= 10 would be your answer! :)

Hope this helped!
