#8x=16#

Explanation:

First, we must find the value of #x#.

#[1]" "16+4x=24#

Subtract both sides by #16#.

#[2]" "4x=24-16#

#[3]" "4x=8#

Now divide both sides by #4#.

#[4]" "color(blue)(x=2)#

Now that we know what #x# is, we can solve for #8x#.

#" "8color(blue)(x)=8color(blue)((2))=color(red)(16)#
