Answer:
x = 177/8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we must get rid of the fraction by multiplying 8 by both sides.
8 · 1/8(8x + 15) = 24 · 8
1(8x + 15) = 192
8x + 15 = 192
Then we simplify. First subtract 15 from both sides.
8x + 15 - 15 = 192 - 15
8x = 177
Then divide 8 from both sides.
8x/8 = 177/8
x = 177/8
