(3/x) + 8 = 2
3/x = -6
.
Now, multiply both sides by x to get:
3 = -6x
.
Divide both sides by -6 to get:
-3/6 = x
.
Reduce to get:
-1/2 = x

Start with the given equation.
Subtract 8 from both sides.
Multiply both sides by x.
Divide both sides by -6 to isolate "x".
Reduce

(3/x) = -6
:
3=-6x.......multiplied both sides by x. The left side x's are eliminated
:
divided both sides by -6 to isolate the variable x
Answer by eperette(173) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(3/x) + 8 = 2
(3/x) + 8 -8 = 2 -8
(3/x) = -6
x(3/x = -6)
3x/x = -6x
3 = -6x
3/-6 = -6x/-6
-1/2 = x

(3/x) + 8 = 2
3/x = -6 you know how to get there right
NOW DO YOU KNOW EVERY SINGLE NUMBER HAVE A 1 IN THE BOTTOM so Example: 1 is equal to 1/1=1 and 3 is equal to 3/1=3 SO 6 = 6/1 = 6
3/x = -6/1 do cross multification you will get -6x = 3 then divide by -6 both side so x = -3/6 = -1/2 or -0.5
SEE A CLEAR VIEW
3/x + 8 = 2
- 8 -8
-----------
3/x = -6 SAME AS 3/x = -6/1 now CROSS MULTIFICATION top * bottom and bottom *top
3/x = -6/1
so therfore x*-6 = 3*1
-6x = 3 now divide by -6 both side
-6x/-6 = 3/-6
x = -3/6 now simplify -3/6 by dividing by 3
x = -1/2 OR -0.05
