Bot GPT 3.5 To solve the equation 8(x-10)=56 for x, we will distribute the 8 to the terms inside the parentheses:
8x - 80 = 56
Next, we will isolate the term with x by moving the constant term (-80) to the other side of the equation:
8x = 56 + 80
Simplifying the right side:
8x = 136
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x:
x = 136/8
Simplifying the right side:
x = 17
Therefore, the solution of the equation 8(x-10)=56 when solving for x is x = 17.
