➷ [tex]\boxed{x = 8}[/tex]
✽ First, Simplify both sides of the equation.
[tex]8(2x + 1) = 136[/tex]
[tex](8) (2x) + (8) (1) = 136[/tex]

_______________
[tex]16x + 8 = 136[/tex]
✽ Then, Subtract 8 from both sides.
[tex]16x + 8 - 8 = 136 - 8[/tex]
[tex]16x = 128[/tex]
✽ Last, Divide both sides by 16.
[tex]\frac{16x}{16} = \frac{123}{16}[/tex]
[tex]x = 8[/tex]
