8x+16=6x what is the value of x?

Answer 1

8x - 6x = -16
2x = -16
x = -8

Answer 2

Such equations can be solved by a few simple transformations as we shall see below:

8x + 16 = 6x

Let us take both x terms to one side and the number to one side.

8x - 6x = - 16

Why? Pl. note that the term changes its sign when taken fromm one side of the equation to another side. + becomes - and - becomes +

So, now we can write

2x = - 16 and
x = - 16/2 = - 8

We can verify by substituting the value of x in the original equation.

8 (- 8) + 16 = 6 (-8)

- 64 + 16 = - 48

- 48 = - 48

So our answer for x = - 8 is correct.

Answer 3

8x+16=6x
Subtract 6 x from both sides
2x+16=0
Subtract 16 from both sides
2x=-16
divide both sides by 2
x=-8

Answer 4

8x+16=6x
must get the x's by themselves...
minus 6x from the right side from the left side

2x+16=0
minus 16

2x= -16

Divide by 2 (2x)
X=-8

answer::::::: X= -8

Answer 5

Subtract 8x from both sides, so you're left with:
16=-2x

Then divide both side by -2, to isolate the variable:
16/-2=-2x/2

Then your answer is: x=-8

Answer 6

8x+16=6x

2x=-16

x=-8

Answer 7

x=-8

Answer 8

2x+16 = 0
x + 8 = 0
x = -8

Answer 9

8x+16=6x
8x-6x=-16
2x=-16
x=-16/2
x=-8

Answer 10

negative 8
