What is the value of x?

6+8x/2=5x

1 answer

To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation:

6 + (8x/2) = 5x

First, simplify the expression on the left side of the equation:

6 + 4x = 5x

Next, we want to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 4x from both sides:

6 = 5x - 4x

Simplifying further:

6 = x

Therefore, the value of x is 6.
