$x = 35$ $x=35$

Solve:

$.20 (x + 5) = 8$ $.20(x+5)=8$

Distribute $.20$ $.20$ .

$.20 x + 1 = 8$ $.20x+1=8$

Subtract $1$ $1$ from both sides.

$.20 x = 8 - 1$ $.20x=8-1$

Simplify.

$.20 x = 7$ $.20x=7$

Divide both sides by $.20$ $.20$ .

$x = \frac{7}{.20}$ $x=7/.20$

Simplify.

$x = 35$ $x=35$
