Which number, when substituted for x, make the equation 4x + 8 = 16 true

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so this is just a substitution problem.

we need to get the variable (x) by itself on one side.

4x+8=16. so, lets remove 8 from the left side, and whatever we do to one side also has to happen to the other.

4x+8=16

-8 - 8

4x=8. So now, we want to get 4 separate from x, and the only thing we can do is divide.

4x=8

/4 / 4

x=2. there you have it, x is 2.

X=2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+8=16

4x=8

x=2

4 (2) + 8=16

8+8=16

16=16
