Ok, so first you want to put x/6 off to the side. The since 2 is your first number you do the opposite and subtract 2 from the other 2. What you did to the 2 you to the 8 which means you subtract 2 from 8 and your answer is 6. Then you put your focus back to the x/6. So ignore the x. Because x/6 means divide you do the opposite of division which is multiply. so multiply 6x6, BUT the answer to 6x6 is 0. then multiply 8x6 and bring back the x so your final answer is x=48
