not sure if you mean
[tex]( \frac{1}{8} )(8x+5)=24[/tex] or
[tex] \frac{1}{8(8x+5)} =24[/tex]
if it is the first then go to AAAAAAa
if 2nd then go to BBBBBBBB
AAAAAAAAa
times both sides by 8
8x+15=192
minus 15
8x=177
divide by 8
x=177/8
BBBBBBBBBBBBB
times both sides by (8x+15) and also times both sides by 1/24
[tex] \frac{1}{192}=8x+15 [/tex]
minus 15 both sides and divide by 8
x=-959/1536
depends which one it is
times
