Answer:
x=-1
Explanation:
Given the equation:
[tex]$
24=4(x-7)+8(1-6 x)
$[/tex]
First, expand the brackets:
[tex]24=4x-28+8-48x[/tex]
Next, collect like terms and simplify:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 24=4x-48x-28+8 \\ 24=-20-44x \\ \text{ Add 20 to both sides} \\ 24+20=-44x \\ 44=-44x \\ \text{ Divide both sides by -44} \\ \frac{44}{-44}=\frac{-44x}{-44} \\ x=-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The solution to the equation is -1.
