To solve the equation $$ a x - 8 = 19 $$ for $$ x $$, follow these steps:

1. **Isolate the term with $$ x $$:**
   $$
   a x - 8 = 19 \implies a x = 19 + 8 \implies a x = 27
   $$

2. **Solve for $$ x $$ by dividing both sides by $$ a $$:**
   $$
   x = \frac{27}{a}
   $$

So, the correct solution is:

**C. $$ x = \frac{27}{a} $$**
The answer is $$ x = \frac{27}{a} $$, choice C.

Solve the following equation for \( x \). \[ a x-8=19 \] A \( x=27 a \) B \( \quad x=\frac{a}{27} \) C \( x=\frac{27}{a} \) D \( x=\frac{11}{a} \)
