Question

Find the value of x in each of 2x/3=8 the following equation

Answer 1

Answer:

x =12

Step-by-step explanation:

2x/3=8

2x=8×3

2x=24

x=24÷2

x=12.

Now check the answer.

2x/3=8

2×12=24

24/3=8

Answer 2

Given,

The equation, 2x/3 = 8

To find,

The value of x.

Solution,

The value of x in the equation $2x \div 3 = 8$ will be 12.

We came easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

According to the question,

$2x \div 3 = 8$

Using the cross multiplication method, ( the numbers in the division are multiplied with the numerator of the other side)

2x = (3×8)

2x = 24

x = 24/2 ( 2 was in the division on the left-hand side. So, it is in the multiplication on the right-hand side.)

x = 12

Hence, the value of x is 12.
