Answer:
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
4(x−7)=2(x+3)
Simplify both sides of the equation.
4x+−28=2x+6
4x−28=2x+6
Subtract 2x from both sides.
4x−28−2x=2x+6−2x
x−28=6
Add 28 to both sides.
2x−28+28=6+28
2x=34
Divide both sides by 2.
2x/2 = 34/2
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]4(x-7)=2(x+3)\\\\4x-28=2x+6\\\\4x-28+28=2x+6+28\\\\4x=2x+34\\\\4x-2x=2x-2x+34\\\\2x=34\\\\\frac{2x=34}{2}\\\\ \boxed{x=17}[/tex]
Hope this helps.
