To solve the equation \( 8(x - 10) = 56 \), 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 \( x = 17 \).

8(x-10)=56

1 answer

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

Divide both sides by 8 to isolate the term with \( x \): \[ x - 10 = \frac{56}{8} \] \[ x - 10 = 7 \]
Add 10 to both sides to solve for \( x \): \[ x = 7 + 10 \] \[ x = 17 \]

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