Which equation has the solution x, equals, 8x=8?

Answer 1

To find the equation that has the solution $x=8$, we can start from this solution and manipulate it into a general form.

The simplest way to form an equation that yields $x=8$ is to isolate $x$. One way is:

$$x-8=0$$

This can be rearranged to:

$$x=8$$

From your question, you mentioned the equation $8x=8$. Let's solve $8x=8$ to check if it has $x=8$ as a solution:

$$8x=8$$

Dividing both sides by 8 gives:

$$x=1$$

Thus, the equation $8x=8$ has the solution $x=1$, not $x=8$.

To specify an equation that does have $x=8$ as a solution, we could consider:

1. $x-8=0$
2. $2x-16=0$
3. $3x-24=0$
4. $4x+8=40$

Any of these equations can be simplified to result in $x=8$.

If you specifically want an equation that closely resembles your original form but has the solution $x=8$, you could write:

$$x-8=0$$

or substitute into alternate forms leading to $x=8$, like $2(x-8)=0$, keeping the balance mathematically correct.
