Answer:
x = 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2/x = 8:
Multiply both sides by x to eliminate the fraction:
[tex](x)(\frac{2}{x}) = 8(x)[/tex]
2 = 8x
Divide both sies by 8 to solve for x:
[tex]\frac{2}{8} = \frac{8x}{8}[/tex]
1/4 = x
To verify whether it is the correct answer, substitute x = 14 into the original equation:
[tex]\frac{2}{x} = 8[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2}{\frac{1}{4} } = 8[/tex]
2 * 4/1 = 8
8 = 8 (True statement).
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 1/4
