not sure if you mean

( (1)/(8) )(8x+5)=24 or


(1)/(8(8x+5)) =24


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

(1)/(192)=8x+15
minus 15 both sides and divide by 8
x=-959/1536

depends which one it is

times
