1. Problem Description

The problem asks to solve for xx in the equation 8(12x5)3=3(x+15)8(\frac{1}{2}x - 5) - 3 = 3(x + 15).

2. Solution Steps

First, we distribute the constants on both sides of the equation.
8(12x5)3=3(x+15)8(\frac{1}{2}x - 5) - 3 = 3(x + 15)
812x853=3x+3158 \cdot \frac{1}{2}x - 8 \cdot 5 - 3 = 3x + 3 \cdot 15
4x403=3x+454x - 40 - 3 = 3x + 45
4x43=3x+454x - 43 = 3x + 45
Next, we isolate xx by subtracting 3x3x from both sides.
4x433x=3x+453x4x - 43 - 3x = 3x + 45 - 3x
x43=45x - 43 = 45
Finally, we add 43 to both sides to solve for xx.
x43+43=45+43x - 43 + 43 = 45 + 43
x=88x = 88

3. Final Answer

x=88x = 88
