Question

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

Answer 1

not sure if you mean

`( (1)/(8) )(8x+5)=24` or


`(1)/(8(8x+5)) =24`


if it is the first then go to AAAAAAa
if 2nd then go to BBBBBBBB




AAAAAAAAa
times both sides by 8
8x+15=192
minus 15
8x=177
divide by 8
x=177/8


BBBBBBBBBBBBB
times both sides by (8x+15) and also times both sides by 1/24

`(1)/(192)=8x+15`
minus 15 both sides and divide by 8
x=-959/1536

depends which one it is

times
