Solve this equation:
X – 8
6
= 4.5
Your answer

x=35

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation:

(x-8)/6=4.5

We have to find out what x is, by getting x by itself. Perform the inverse operation to the equation. Remember to perform everything to both sides.

6 is being divided by x-8. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 6.

(x-8)/6*6=4.5*6

(x-8)= 4.5*6

x-8=27

8 is being subtracted from x. The inverse of subtraction is addition. Add 8 to both sides.

x-8+8=27+8

x=35

Let’s check out solution. Plug 35 back in for x in the original equation.

(x-8)/6=4.5

(35-8)/6=4.5

27/6=4.5

4.5=4.5

Both sides of the equation are the same, so we know our solution of x=35 is correct.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
