Answer:
a) 3x-5=16
b) 30cm
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 5(x-1)=2(x+8)
5x-5=2x+16
5x-2x-5=16
3x-5=16
b) solving the equation gives x=7
put x=7 into first line, 5(7-1)=30cm
to check we can place it into second one as well
2(7+8)=30cm

The correct answers are:
(1) If EXACT number is required, then 7.5.
(2) If multiple of 8 is required then the answer will be 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Explanation:
First you need to express it in the form of equation to make things simpler as follows:
8 * y = 60
We need to find y; to do so, divide 60 by 8:
y = 
y = 7.5
Now if you want to find the whole number, then the answer will be 7 times, with 4 left over.
