Explanation:

Expand both sides of the equation

$$ 8(x - 4) = 5(x + 5) $$

$$ 8x - 32 = 5x + 25 $$

Isolate the variable terms

$$ 8x - 5x = 25 + 32 $$

$$ 3x = 57 $$

Solve for x

$$ x = \frac{57}{3} $$

$$ x = 19 $$

Answer:

Solve the equation to find \(x\).

\(8(x - 4) = 5(x + 5)\)

\(x =\) <blank>19</blank>
