    The equation is:

    2015:5-8

    The awnser is 395

    Take 395*8+5

    That leaves the awnser 3165

    she did (x+8) * 5

    2015 = (x+8) * 5

    divide both sides by 5

    403=x+8

    x = 403-8 = 395

    using same number if she followed instructions it would be

    395*8 = 3160+5 = 3165
