Question

Need help. Thanks! 16/48 = 2x/48

Answer 1

Simplify both sides of the equation and then isolate the variable

x=8

Answer 2

If 16/48 =2x/48, then x equals 8.

2*8 equals 16, so you can substitute the 8 in for x. By doing this, it would look like this:

16/48 = 2(8)/48 or 16/48 = 16/48, which is a true statement.
