What value of x satisties the equation `(2)/(3)(5x+7)=8x?`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(\frac{2}{3}(5x + 7) = 8x\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Eliminate the fraction Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction. \[ 3 \cdot \frac{2}{3}(5x + 7) = 3 \cdot 8x \] This simplifies to: \[ 2(5x + 7) = 24x \] ### Step 2: Distribute on the left side Now, distribute the 2 on the left side. \[ 2 \cdot 5x + 2 \cdot 7 = 24x \] This simplifies to: \[ 10x + 14 = 24x \] ### Step 3: Move all terms involving \(x\) to one side Subtract \(10x\) from both sides to get all \(x\) terms on one side. \[ 14 = 24x - 10x \] This simplifies to: \[ 14 = 14x \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(x\) Now, divide both sides by 14 to isolate \(x\). \[ x = \frac{14}{14} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 1 \] ### Final Answer The value of \(x\) that satisfies the equation is: \[ \boxed{1} \] ---
