Simplify \(1-4\) to \(-3\).
\[8x+\frac{-3}{8}=7\]
Move the negative sign to the left.
\[8x-\frac{3}{8}=7\]
Add \(\frac{3}{8}\) to both sides.
\[8x=7+\frac{3}{8}\]
Simplify \(7+\frac{3}{8}\) to \(\frac{59}{8}\).
\[8x=\frac{59}{8}\]
Divide both sides by \(8\).
\[x=\frac{\frac{59}{8}}{8}\]
Simplify \(\frac{\frac{59}{8}}{8}\) to \(\frac{59}{8\times 8}\).
\[x=\frac{59}{8\times 8}\]
Simplify \(8\times 8\) to \(64\).
\[x=\frac{59}{64}\]
