Question

determined to write an equation to help you solve for x.
8x + 26 = 90
8x = 90 - 26
multiply both sides :multiply both sides by what?
8x\left(\\ \
ight)=64\left(\\ \
ight)

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the equation

We have \(8x = 64\) (since \(90 - 26 = 64\)). To solve for \(x\), we need to isolate \(x\). The coefficient of \(x\) is \(8\), so we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of \(8\), which is \(\frac{1}{8}\), to get \(x\) alone.

Step2: Multiply both sides by \(\frac{1}{8}\)

So we multiply both sides of \(8x = 64\) by \(\frac{1}{8}\). The equation becomes \(8x\times\frac{1}{8}=64\times\frac{1}{8}\).

Answer:

The value to multiply both sides by is \(\frac{1}{8}\), so the blanks should be filled with \(\frac{1}{8}\) and \(\frac{1}{8}\) respectively.
