solve the eqn like this:
8 + x/3 = 10
x/3 = 10 - 8
x/3 = 2
x = 3 x 2
x = 6

Because 6 thirds equals 2.... 2 +8 = 10

if you are saying 8 + x/3 =10 then you simply:
think 3 x 2=6 so 6/3 would equal 2 so add that by 8 and you get 10, so easy a caveman can do it lol

Yes!
8 +x/3 = 10
x/3 = 10 - 8
now you multiply the question with 3
(x/3) multiply 3 = (10-8) multiply 3
x = 2 multiply 3
x=6

move the 8 to the right side and it becomes x/3=10-8.
therefore x/3=2.
now move the 3 to the right side and it becomes a multiplicand.
therefore x=3*2
therefore x=6.
i hope this is a serious question and i hope this helps

u just need to move 8
x/3=10-8
x/3=2
x=2*3
x=6

8*3=24
10*3=30
30-24=6 !!!
====>x=6

8+x/3=10
(3X8)+x=(3X10)
24+x=30
x=30-24
=6 (answer)
