To solve the equation [tex]\( y = x + 8 \)[/tex] for [tex]\( x \)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Isolate the term containing [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
The original equation is [tex]\( y = x + 8 \)[/tex].
2. Rearrange the equation to solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to isolate [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
y - 8 = x
\][/tex]
3. Write the solution:
The solution to the equation [tex]\( y = x + 8 \)[/tex] for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
x = y - 8
\][/tex]
Thus, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[
x = y - 8
\][/tex]
