    8 (5x+2) = 27

    1. Distribute the 8 to both of the terms within the parentheses:

    40x+16=27

    2. Subtract 16 from both sides:

    40x=11

    3. Divide both sides on 40:

    x=11/40

    (you could do the actual division but this is an easier way to show 11 divided by 40)

    4. Solution:

    x=11/40
