To solve the equation 8x = 72, we need to isolate the variable x. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 8.
(8x)/8 = 72/8
x = 9
The property used in this step is the Multiplicative Property of Equality, which allows us to divide both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number.
Solve this equation and state the property that justifies your step. 8x=72
