Solve for x: 8x=56

  1. 6

  2. 7

  3. 8

  4. 9

The correct answer is: 7

To solve for x in this equation, we need to get x alone on one side of the equals sign. We can do this by dividing both sides by 8. This leaves us with x=56/8, which simplifies to x=7. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A, 6, is incorrect because it does not evenly divide into 56, so it would not make the equation balance. Option C, 8, is incorrect because it is the coefficient being used to multiply x, not the value of x itself. Option D, 9, is incorrect because it is also not the correct value of x to make the equation balance.
