To solve the equation \( 8x + 31.7 = -19.5 \), follow these steps:
1. Subtract 31.7 from both sides:
\[
8x = -19.5 - 31.7
\]
\[
8x = -51.2
\]
2. Divide both sides by 8:
\[
x = \frac{-51.2}{8}
\]
\[
x = -6.4
\]
Therefore, the value of \( x \) is \( -6.4 \).
1. Subtract 31.7 from both sides:
\[
8x = -19.5 - 31.7
\]
\[
8x = -51.2
\]
2. Divide both sides by 8:
\[
x = \frac{-51.2}{8}
\]
\[
x = -6.4
\]
Therefore, the value of \( x \) is \( -6.4 \).
