To solve for X you need to simplify both sides on the equation
<span><span><span>23</span><span>(<span><span>4x</span>−5</span>)</span></span>=8
</span><span><span><span><span>(<span>23</span>)</span><span>(<span>4x</span>)</span></span>+<span><span>(<span>23</span>)</span><span>(<span>−5</span>)</span></span></span>=8 *</span>Distribute*
<span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>+<span><span>−10/</span>3</span></span>=<span>8
after that you add 10/3 on both sides
</span></span><span><span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>+<span><span>−10/</span>3</span></span>+10/3</span>=<span>8+10/3</span></span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>=<span>34/<span>3
finally multiply 3/8 on both sides
</span></span></span><span><span>(<span>3/8</span>) x </span><span>(<span><span>8/3</span>x</span>)</span></span>=<span><span>(<span>3/8</span>) x </span><span>(<span>34/3</span><span>)
and your answer should be
X= 17/4
