Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
1.You distribute -2 into x and -7
2. -2x+14+8x=32
3. Combine Like terms -2x and 8x
4. 6x+14=32
5. Subtract 14 on both sides
6.6x=32-14
6x=18
Divide both sides by 6
I suggest using mathaway or photomath to help
x = 3
-2(x - 7) + 8x = 32
Distribute -2 into (x - 7)
-2 X x -2 x -7 + 8x = 32
-2x + 14 + 8x = 32
-2x + 8x + 14 = 32
6x + 14 = 32
Subtract 14 from both sides
6x + 14 - 14 = 32 - 14
6x = 18
Divide both sides by by 6 to isolate x
6x/6 = 18/6
