Question 122765: I WANT TO LEARN PRE-ALGEBRA: HOW DO I SOLVE X=8

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
"solve" means to find out what an unknown is. Like if I
didn't know how old you are, and I call your age x
I will solve for x when someone tells me, or I
can figure out what x is.
If you are given x=8, that's already solved.
If you were given x+=+3+%2B+4+%2B+1, Then you need one
more step to solve for x. You add the numbers and
get x=8
