Please help me!!! 

So I already got this question done "The total cost for 8 bracelets, including shipping was $54. the shipping charge was $6. Define your variable and write an equation that models the cost of each bracelet." which I put "54 -6 = 48" then "48 ÷ 8 = 6 so its $6 per bracelet" but here is the question I am confused and need help on. Use the equation you have written above determine the cost for each bracelet. Show the algebraic steps that it takes to find the answer. Provide your conclusion. Please help!!

Verified Answer :

Well first, you need an equation:

\(8x+6=54\)

where x is the price of each bracelet. 

Subtracting 6 from both sides, you get:

\(8x=48\)

Divide 8 from both sides:

\(x=6\)

Each bracelet cost $6.

I'm not sure if that was the answer you were looking for but I hope I helped.
