Question

How do you solve for x in `sx=8`?

Answer 1

`x = 8/s`

Explanation:

To solve for `x` we must divide each side of the equation by `s` to isolate `x` and keep the equation balanced:

`(sx)/color(red)(s) = 8/color(red)(s)`

`(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(s)))x)/cancel(color(red)(s)) = 8/s`

`x = 8/s`
