Answer:

x =
(16)/(5) = 3(1)/(5) = 3.2

Explanation:

25.6 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8.


(25.6)/(8) = x\\

Expand
(25.6)/(8) by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.


(256)/(80) = x

Reduce the fraction
(256)/(80\\) to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 16.


(16)/(5) = x

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left-hand side.


x = (16)/(5)

If you answer is meant to be a fraction, then your correct answer is
3(1)/(5) and if you answer is meant to be a decimal then you correct answer is 3.2.

Hope I helped and have a good day. ~sunshine~ =D
