Hey there!☺
[tex]Answer:\boxed{x=2}[/tex]
[tex]Explanation:[/tex]
[tex]3(-x+4)=7x-8[/tex]
Let's start by simplifying both sides. First, we distribute.
[tex](3)(-x)+(3)(4)=7x+-8[/tex]
[tex]-3x+12=7x+-8[/tex]
[tex]-3x+12=7x-8[/tex]
Now let's subtract 7x from both sides.
[tex]-3x+12-7x=7x-8-7x\\-10x+12=-8[/tex]
Now we will subtract 12 from both sides.
[tex]-10x+12-12=-8-12\\-10x=-20[/tex]
In our last/final step, we will divide both sides by -10.
[tex]\frac{-10x}{-10}=\frac{-20}{-10}[/tex]
Now simplify -20/-10.
[tex]-20/-10=2[/tex]
[tex]x=2[/tex]
Hope this helps!
