Solve e=51+x8-x

$$e = 51 + x 8 - x$$

Solve for x

$$x=x_{8}+51-e$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$51+x_{8}-x=e$$

Subtract 51 from both sides.

$$x_{8}-x=e-51$$

Subtract x_{8} from both sides.

$$-x=e-51-x_{8}$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$-x=-x_{8}+e-51$$

Divide both sides by -1.

$$\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{-x_{8}+e-51}{-1}$$

Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.

$$x=\frac{-x_{8}+e-51}{-1}$$

Divide e-51-x_{8} by -1.

$$x=x_{8}+51-e$$

Solve for x_8

$$x_{8}=x+e-51$$

Solution Steps

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

$$51+x_{8}-x=e$$

Subtract 51 from both sides.

$$x_{8}-x=e-51$$

Add x to both sides.

$$x_{8}=e-51+x$$
