how do I solve this following problem step by step.

Question

8/x = 10

Answer 1

Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

8 = 10x
8/10 = x
0.8 = x

Answer 2

what would it be if i had

8x = 10

Answer 3

Divide both sides of the equation by 8.

8x = 10

x = 10/8
x = 1 1/4 = 1.25

This may be easier to understand if you plug the values for x into the original equation.

8 * 1.25 = 10

Answer 4

You would divide both sides by eight to
isolate x. I will let you do that.
It ends up being a fraction, of course.

Let me know if you can't figure that out.
