Question

Solve for x: one over eight (8x + 15) = 24

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C is correct

one hundred seventy-seven over eight

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation: one over eight (8x + 15) = 24

$\frac{1}{8}(8x+15) = 24$

Multiply both sides by 8 we have;

8x+15 =192

Subtract 15 from both sides we have;

$8x+15-15= 192-15$

Simplify:

8x = 177

Divide both sides by 8 we have;

$x = \frac{177}{8}$

Therefore, the value for x is, one hundred seventy-seven over eight

Answer 2

1: distribute the 1/8 to (8x+15). multiply 8 times 1/8 and 15 times 1/8. 1x+1.875. 

2: Subtract 1.875 from both sides. x=22.125. which is equal to 177/8.
