Starting with the equation,
8(x - 10) = 56
We can distribute the 8 to the terms inside the parentheses:
8x - 80 = 56
Next, we'll isolate the variable by adding 80 to both sides of the equation:
8x = 56 + 80
This simplifies to:
8x = 136
Finally, we'll solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 8:
x = 136/8
Which gives us:
x = 17
