Deandre Koch · Answer 1

If you would like to solve for x: 1/8 * (8x + 15) = 24, you can do this using the following steps:

1/8 * (8x + 15) = 24

1/8 * 8x + 1/8 * 15 = 24

x + 15/8 = 24

x = 24 - 15/8

x = 192/8 - 15/8 = 177/8 = 22.125

The correct result would be 177/8.

1/8 (8x+15) = 24 use Distributive Property

x+15/8=24 subtract 15/8 from both sides to get variable alone ...

x=22
