Question

how do i solve 8x=196

Answer 1

$8x=196$
Divide both sides by 8.
$\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{196}{8}$
Cancel out the 8's on the left side and do "196/8" to get "x".
$x=24.5$

$8x=196 \\ \\ x = \frac{196}{8} \ / \ divide \ each \ side \ by \ 8 \\ \\ x = \frac{49}{2} \ / \ simplify \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {x = 49/2} \ or \ \fbox {x = 24.5}$
