Dennis Wise · Answer 1

To solve for the value of x, you need to get rid of the fraction first, so you have to multiply each side of the original equation by 2, which will get you 6+8x=10x. Then, you subtract both sides by 8x, which will get you 6=2x. After that, you divide each side by 2, which leaves you with 3=x. So, the answer is D. 3
