First, distribute eight

16x - 80 = 28


Then, get x to be the only value on its side

16x = 108


Next, divide

x = 108/16


Finally, simplify

x = 27/4

Answer:

6.75

Explanation:

first let's simplify whatever is inside the parantheses

8(2x-10)=28

8*2(x-5)=28

16(x-5)=28

now we divide both sides by 16 to get rid 16

x-5 = 28/16

now move -5 to the right side

x = 28/16 + 5

x = 28/16 + 80/16 = 108/16 = 6.75
