Since the question actually asks where the left side IS NOT EQUAL to 8

The answer is actually

All real x EXCEPT x=8

x=8

 

(4x+8)/5 = 8        multiply both by 5, to cancel denomentor

(4x+8) = 40          not subract 8 from the left, then place on the right side

4x = 32                now just divide by 4

x = 8
