Solve the following equation
10x=8x+16
Solve for x
10x = 8x + 16
Group variables
Group our variables 10x and 8x
subtract 8x from both sides
10x - 8x = 8x + 16 - 8x
Cancel 8x on the right side:
2x = 16
Divide each side by 10
| 10x | |
| 10 |
| = |
| 8 |
| 10 |
Divide each side of the equation by 2
| 2x | |
| 2 |
| = |
| 16 |
| 2 |
x = 8
Final Answer
x = 8
