Answer 2

Hey there!

• Firstly, you would have to $\bold{multiply}$ by $\bold{64}$ on each of your sides  after $\bold{switching}$ up the equation
• $\bold{\frac{64x}{64}=\frac{7\times64}{8}}$
• $\bold{Cancel:\frac{64x}{64}}$ because it gives us the result of $\bold{1}$ which is NOT our answer
• $\bold{Keep:\frac{7\times64}{8}}$ because it helps us solve for our $\bold{x}$ value
• $\bold{7\times64=448}$
• $\bold{\frac{448}{8}=56}$
• $\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:x=56}}}$ $\checkmark$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
