At the gym, Jasper was able to bench press 224 pounds, which was StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction of the weight that Balin was
able to bench press. Which shows the correct equation and value of x, the weight that Balin could bench press? StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction x = 224; x = 196 pounds StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction x = 224; x = 256 pounds StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 224 EndFraction; x = 196 pounds StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 224 EndFraction; x = 256 pounds
