Question

I WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST!!! What is the value of x?

8x+3=43

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 3 = 43

Subtract 3 on both sides

8x = 40

divide by 8 on both sides

x = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

X = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x you have to get it by itself.

8x + 3 = 43

     -3      -3

----------------

8x = 40

Divide both sides by 8

8 divided by 8 cancels out, leaving x by itself

x = 40/8

40/8 = 5

x = 5

To check, plug 5 in for x
