First it's best to get rid of the fraction either by multiplying by its inverse or opening the parenthesis by applying the distributive property

5. anonymous

can explain more than that

HI!!

14. misty1212

first step what is $$8\times 24$$?

15. anonymous

192

16. misty1212

good

17. misty1212

so $\frac{1}{8}(8x+15)=24$ multply by 8 and get $8x+15=192$

18. anonymous

OK

19. misty1212

subtract $$15$$ from both sides, what do you get ?

20. anonymous

162

21. anonymous

i mean 177

22. misty1212

ok good so if $8x=177$ then divide by \(8) and get $x=\frac{177}{8}$ `

23. anonymous

177/8

24. misty1212

$x=\frac{177}{8}$

25. anonymous

yes

26. anonymous

thnx
