Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{71}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Simplify/distribute each side.
[tex]4(2)(-7)+3(3)(-1)=3(2-x)[/tex]
[tex]4(2)(-7)+3(3)(-1)=(3)(2)+(3)(-x)[/tex]
[tex]-56+-9=6+-3x[/tex]
2. Flip the equation around.
[tex]-3x+6=-65[/tex]
3. Subtract 6 to balance the equation.
[tex]-3x+6-6=-65-6[/tex]
[tex]-3x=-71[/tex]
4. Divide each side by 3. We know they are in the same fact family.
[tex]\frac{-3x}{-3} = \frac{-71}{3}[/tex]
