2x2 = 8x x = 8x/2x x = 4 Check: 2(4)2 = 8(4) 2(16) = 32 32 = 32
x3 + 2x2 - 8x + 5 = 0 x(2x - 8) + 5 = 0
3 - x = 8x = 3 - 8x = - 5
2x2 is 4, so if 4=8x then x=1/2. 1/2 times 8 is the same as 8 divided by 2 (8/2), which simplifies to 4/1, or 4. So x=1/2.
(4x-8)(2x+2)
2x2=4 X -2=-8
5x + 8 = -3x + 16 add 3x to both sides, this gives you... 8x + 8 = 16 minus 8 from both sides, this gives you... 8x = 8 divide by 8 to get what x equals (must divide both sides), this gives you... x = 1
3x2 - 8x = x(3x - 8)
8x + 8=40 8x=40-8 8x=32 x=32/8 x=4
-104 = 8x Divide both sides by 8. -104/8 = 8x/8 -13 = x
-8x ----- 8
8 times 3 plus 32 equals 56. 8x + 32 = 56 8x + 32 - 32 = 56 - 32 8x = 24 8x / 8 = 24 / 8 x = 3
