Answer

\frac{169}{8}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Distribute the 8 into the parenthesis.
$8(x - 15) = 49$ $8x - 8 \times 15 = 49$ $8x - 120 = 49$
Add 120 to both sides of the equation.
$8x - 120 + 120 = 49 + 120$ $8x = 169$
Divide both sides by 8 to solve for $x$ .
$\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{169}{8}$ $x = \frac{169}{8}$
The final answer is $\frac{169}{8}$ .
