Hey there!
10x ÷ 8 = 18
MULTIPLY 8 to BOTH SIDES
10x ÷ 8 * 8 = 18 * 8
SIMPLIFY IT
NEW EQUATION: 10x = 144
DIVIDE 10 to BOTH SIDES
10x/10 = 144/10
CANCEL out: 10/10 because it gives you 1
KEEP: 144/10 because it helps simplify for the x-value
x = 144/10
x = 144 ÷ 2/10 ÷ 2
x = 72/5
Therefore, your answer is: x = 72/5
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
