8x-18=30

what is the answer

8x-18=30

First add the 18 to both sides

8x=48

Then divide the 8 into 48

Answer: 6

6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to solve this, is to work backwards. When subtracting, add on both sides

8x-18 (+18) = 30 (+18)

8x=48

Now that we're multiplying, instead we divide both sides.

8x (/8) = 48 (/8)

x = 6
