Solve 6+2-5xdiv3

$$6+2-5x \div 3$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{5x}{3}+8$$

Short Solution Steps

Add 6 and 2 to get 8.

$$8-\frac{5x}{3}$$

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 8 times \frac{3}{3}.

$$\frac{8\times 3}{3}-\frac{5x}{3}$$

Since \frac{8\times 3}{3} and \frac{5x}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{8\times 3-5x}{3}$$

Do the multiplications in 8\times 3-5x.

$$\frac{24-5x}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{24-5x}{3}$$

Solution Steps

Factor out \frac{1}{3}.

$$\frac{24-5x}{3}$$

Consider 18+6-5x. Multiply and combine like terms.

$$-5x+24$$

Rewrite the complete factored expression.

$$\frac{-5x+24}{3}$$
