Thread: Making x the subject of this

Hey,

I haven't done maths for many years, and i'm just wondering how x could be made the subject of this equation:

x = 8 - 15/x

Thanks

EDIT

lmao sorry not x the subject
how could you solve this to get a value of x?

multiply every term in the equation by x and solve the resulting quadratic equation ...
