Question

What is the value of x in the equation 8x – 2y = 48, when y = 4?
6
7
14
48

Answer 1

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

8x – 2y = 48

Let y = 4

8x - 2(4) = 48

8x - 8 = 48

Add 8 to each side

8x-8+8 = 48+8

8x = 56

Divide each side by 8

8x/8 = 56/8

x=7

Answer 2

Answer:

$x = 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8x - 2y = 48 \\ 8x = 48 + 2y \\ x = \frac{48 + 2y}{8}$

$y = 4$

$x = \frac{48 + 2y}{8} \\ x = \frac{48 + 2 \times 4}{8} \\ x = \frac{48 + 8}{8} \\ x = \frac{56}{8} \\ x = 7$

hope this helps
