Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To find the value of x in the equation 6 + 8x/2 = 5x, we can solve it step by step.

Step 1: Start by simplifying the equation using the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

Now, we have:
6 + 4x = 5x (Dividing 8x by 2 gives us 4x)

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable.

6 - 4x + 4x = 5x - 4x

Simplifying further:
6 = x

Therefore, the value of x is 6.

To find the value of x in the equation 6 + 8x/2 = 5x, we can solve for x step by step. Here's how:

Step 1: Simplify the given equation by performing the operations.

6 + 8x/2 = 5x

Step 2: Simplify further by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 to remove the fraction.

2 * (6 + 8x/2) = 2 * 5x
12 + 8x = 10x

Step 3: Move all the terms with x to one side by subtracting 8x from both sides.

12 + 8x - 8x = 10x - 8x
12 = 2x

Step 4: Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate x.

12/2 = 2x/2
6 = x

So, the value of x is 6.
