Answer: x= 2
Step-by-step explanation:
(8 X 4)+[8 X (-x)]= 7x+2
32- 8x = 7x+2
-8x-7x =2-32
-15x = -30
x= 2
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]8(4-x)=7x+2[/tex] Original equation
[tex]32-8x=7x+2[/tex] Distributive property on left
[tex]30=15x[/tex] Combine like terms and isolate the variable (x)
[tex]2=x[/tex] Divide both sides by 15 (Division Property of Equality)
