Solve 28=(x+4)*8

$$28 = ( x + 4 ) \times 8$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{1}{2}=-0.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 8.

$$\frac{28}{8}=x+4$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{28}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$\frac{7}{2}=x+4$$

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

$$x+4=\frac{7}{2}$$

Subtract 4 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{7}{2}-4$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{8}{2}.

$$x=\frac{7}{2}-\frac{8}{2}$$

Since \frac{7}{2} and \frac{8}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{7-8}{2}$$

Subtract 8 from 7 to get -1.

$$x=-\frac{1}{2}$$
