Question

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

Answer 1

The answer is 177/8 or one hundred seventy seven over eigth.

1/8(8x + 15) = 24

Multiply both sides by 8:
8* 1/8(8x + 15) = 8 * 24
8x + 15 = 192


Subtract 15 from both sides:
8x +15 - 15 = 192 - 15
8x = 177

Divide both sides by 8:
8x/8 = 177/8
x = 177/8
