Answer 1

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

1. Divide both sides by 8 to isolate the term with \( x \):

   \[ x - 10 = \frac{56}{8} \]

   \[ x - 10 = 7 \]

2. Add 10 to both sides to solve for \( x \):

   \[ x = 7 + 10 \]

   \[ x = 17 \]

Thus, the solution is \( x = 17 \).
