Question

Solve each equation.

$0=16-8x$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The required solution is represented by $x=2$.

Step 1. Determine the method which can be used to determine the required solution.

The equation that represents the value of x will represent the required solution.

Step 2. Determine the value of x .

Perform addition of $-16$ from both sides of the provided equation.

$$\begin{gathered} -16=16-8x-16 \\ -16=-8x \end{gathered}$$ 

Perform division of 8 on both sides of the equation.

$\begin{array}{c}\frac{-16}{8}=\frac{-8x}{8}\\ -2=-x\\ x=2\end{array}$

Step 3. Write the conclusion.

The obtained equation $x=2$ is the required solution.
