Answer 2

Hey there!

• Firstly, you would have to
  `\bold{multiply}` by
  `\bold{64}` on each of your sides after
  `\bold{switching}` up the equation
• 
  `\bold{(64x)/(64)=(7*64)/(8)}`
• 
  `\bold{Cancel:(64x)/(64)}` because it gives us the result of
  `\bold{1}` which is NOT our answer
• 
  `\bold{Keep:(7*64)/(8)}` because it helps us solve for our
  `\bold{x}` value
• 
  `\bold{7*64=448}`
• 
  `\bold{(448)/(8)=56}`
• 
  `\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:x=56}}}`
  `\checkmark`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
