Solve for x 10=x/4-8

$10 = \frac{x}{4} - 8$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{x}{4} - 8 = 10$ .

$\frac{x}{4} - 8 = 10$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $8$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{x}{4} = 10 + 8$

Add $10$ and $8$ .

$\frac{x}{4} = 18$

Step 3

Multiply both sides of the equation by $4$ .

$4 \frac{x}{4} = 4 \cdot 18$

Step 4

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$4 \frac{x}{4} = 4 \cdot 18$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = 4 \cdot 18$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $4$ by $18$ .

$x = 72$
