Solve for x: one over eight (8x + 15) = 24
is it \[\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }(8x+15)=24\]
9 49 one hundred seventy-seven over eight two hundred seven over eight
those are the given answers
What do you think the answer is or you dont know?
i dont know what it is
Ok first If we simplify \[\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }(8x+15) \]what do we get?
1/8 *23 ?
1/8*23x
Nope we are just simply moving the 8 to the 8x+15 so we get\[\frac{ 8x+15 }{ 8 }=24\]
So what do we do next?
add 8x + 15? sorry if i get this wrong i just dont understand it
Its ok to be wrong. Your learning now :D Ok no we do what with the 8 and 24
add or divide it?
Nope whens its like that you multiply them other to bring it to a one line equation so we get?
okay i get it now
So what do we get?
8*24=192
where did u get the 24 from?
ohh sorry i think i get 49?....
Ohh sorry yea 192 lol so we are left with 8x+15=192 Ok now can u solve from here
subtract 15 from both sides, and divide both sides by 8?
so it is C
