Jen and I showed you how to solve a similar equation. Now it's your turn.

How do you think you should solve this problem?
um im not sure i don't really understand how to do this i got 32 but im not sure if its right though
You're right so far.

8x = 32

That means that 8 times an unknown number is 32.

The next step is to divide both sides of the equation by 8. That will give you what x equals.
