Question

8(x - 20) = 304

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 8(x - 20) = 304 \), follow these steps:

1. **Distribute the 8**:
\[
8x - 160 = 304
\]

2. **Add 160 to both sides**:
\[
8x = 304 + 160
\]
\[
8x = 464
\]

3. **Divide both sides by 8**:
\[
x = \frac{464}{8}
\]
\[
x = 58
\]

Thus, the solution is:
\[
\boxed{58}
\]
