Question

If 1/8(8x+15)24, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=22.125$  or  $x=\frac{177}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation is

$1/8(8x+15)=24$

solve for x

Multiply by 8 both sides to remove the fraction

$(8x+15)=192$

subtract 15 both sides

$8x=192-15\\8x=177$

divide by 8 both sides

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

$x=22.125$
