What is the solution of the equation 8(x − 10) = 56 when solving for x ?(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 8(x - 10) = 56 \), follow these steps:

1. Distribute the 8: \[ 8x - 80 = 56 \]

2. Add 80 to both sides: \[ 8x = 56 + 80 \] \[ 8x = 136 \]

3. Divide both sides by 8: \[ x = \frac{136}{8} \] \[ x = 17 \]

The solution for \( x \) is \( \boxed{17} \).
