Question

$$\frac{8}{x}=4$$

Solve for x

$x=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable $x$ cannot be equal to $0$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $x$.

$$8=4x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$4x=8$$

Divide both sides by $4$.

$$x=\frac{8}{4}$$

Divide $8$ by $4$ to get $2$.

$$x=2$$
