Solve 8(x+4)/6=1/3

$$\frac { 8 ( x + 4 ) } { 6 } = \frac { 1 } { 3 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{15}{4} = -3\frac{3}{4} = -3.75$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 6.

$$8\left(x+4\right)=\frac{1}{3}\times 6$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by x+4.

$$8x+32=\frac{1}{3}\times 6$$

Multiply \frac{1}{3} and 6 to get \frac{6}{3}.

$$8x+32=\frac{6}{3}$$

Divide 6 by 3 to get 2.

$$8x+32=2$$

Subtract 32 from both sides.

$$8x=2-32$$

Subtract 32 from 2 to get -30.

$$8x=-30$$

Divide both sides by 8.

$$x=\frac{-30}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-30}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=-\frac{15}{4}$$
