Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Multiply both sides by 1/8
$\frac{1}{8}(8x)=\frac{1}{8}(16)$ (Multiplication Property of Equality)
Step2: Simplify left - hand side
$1x=\frac{1}{8}(16)$ (Multiplicative Inverse Property: $\frac{1}{8}\times8 = 1$)
Step3: Calculate right - hand side
$1x = 2$ (Multiplication of Real Numbers: $\frac{1}{8}\times16=2$)
Step4: Simplify
$x = 2$ (Multiplicative Identity Property: $1x=x$)
Answer:
| Step | Justification |
|---|---|
| $8x = 16$ | Given |
| $\frac{1}{8}(8x)=\frac{1}{8}(16)$ | Multiplication Property of Equality |
| $1x=\frac{1}{8}(16)$ | Multiplicative Inverse Property |
| $1x = 2$ | Multiplication of Real Numbers |
| $x = 2$ | Multiplicative Identity Property |
