[tex]x = 11[/tex]
Step-by-step solution
1.Swap sides
[tex]88 - 8x[/tex]
Swap sides:
[tex]8x - 88[/tex]
2.Isolate the x
[tex]8x - 88[/tex]
Divide both sides by 8:
[tex] \frac{8x}{8} - \frac{88}{8} [/tex]
Simplify the fraction:
[tex]x - \frac{88}{8} [/tex]
Find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator:
[tex]x - \frac{11.8}{1.8} [/tex]
Factor out and cancel the greatest common factor:
[tex]x - 11[/tex]
