I believe the correct answer is X=52\(X-4=58\)
Step-by-step explanation:
\(\frac{X}{8} -\frac{1}{2} = 6\)
1. We now multiply all sides by 8:
\({\frac{X}{8}}\times8 -{\frac{1}{2}}\times8 = 6\times8\)
2. Solve for 8 on all ratios and numbers:
\(X-4=48\)
3. Carry the 48 to the right. When you carry a number to the right side, it becomes positive and to the left it becomes negative:
\(X=48+4\)
4. Add the sum on the right:
\(48+4=52\)
5. Now fill in for X:
X=52
Let us prove it is correct....
1. Fill in the value of X with 52:
\(\frac{52}{8}-\frac{1}{2} =6\)
2. Do the fractions first and convert to 1 decimal place number:
\(6.5-0.5=6\)
3. Do the subtraction:
\(6.5-0.5=6\)
4. Now:
\(6=6\)
Thus the answer for X=52
