+128408 We have nothing to solve.....there needs to be an equal sign somewhere for that
+2440 It appears as if this post was edited since Cphill's last post.
| \(2x-\frac{x}{8}+5=35\) | Subtract 5 from both sides. |
| \(2x-\frac{x}{8}=30\) | Multiply by 8 on both sides to eliminate the pesky fraction. |
| \(16x-x=240\) | Combine like terms. |
| \(15x=240\) | Divide by 15 to isolate x. |
| \(x=16\) | |
