Isolating x means to get x 'by itself' with all other variables or integers on the other side of the equation. example: 4x-2=20 turns into 4x=22 then x=22/4 then x=11.... X ends up by itself on the left side of the equation, so you've isolated it.

What do you need to divide by to solve the equation of the form axb?

To solve an equation of the form ( ax = b ), you need to divide both sides of the equation by ( a ) (assuming ( a \neq 0 )). This gives you ( x = \frac{b}{a} ), isolating ( x ) on one side of the equation.

How do to slove 8 (4-x) 7x plus 2?

To solve the equation ( 8(4 - x) + 7x + 2 = 0 ), start by distributing the 8: ( 32 - 8x + 7x + 2 = 0 ). Combine like terms to get ( 32 - x + 2 = 0 ), which simplifies to ( 34 - x = 0 ). Finally, solve for ( x ) by isolating it: ( x = 34 ).
