Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by 5x+8.
24+8x=48x+64
Combine 40x and 8x to get 48x.
24+8x-48x=64
Subtract 48x from both sides.
24-40x=64
Combine 8x and -48x to get -40x.
-40x=64-24
Subtract 24 from both sides.
-40x=40
Subtract 24 from 64 to get 40.
x=\frac{40}{-40}
Divide both sides by -40.
x=-1
Divide 40 by -40 to get -1.
