Answer:
[tex] x = 1 \frac{5}{16}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]8x + \frac{5}{2} = 13 \\ \\ 8x = 13 - \frac{5}{2} \\ \\ 8x = \frac{13 \times 2 - 5}{2} \\ \\ 8x = \frac{26 - 5}{2} \\ \\ 8x = \frac{21}{2} \\ \\ x = \frac{21 }{2\times 8} \\ \\ x = \frac{21}{16} \\ \\ x = 1 \frac{5}{16} \\ [/tex]
