Question

8 (3x - 1) = 2 (9 – 7x)

Answer 1

Answer:

8 (3x - 1) = 2 (9 – 7x)

24x - 8 = 18 - 14x

24x + 14x - 8 = 18 -14x + 14x

38x - 8 = 18

38x - 8 + 8 = 18 + 8

38x = 26

38x / 38 = 26 / 38

x = 13/19  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. distribute both sides

2. add 14x to both sides

3. add 8 to both sides

4. divide both sides by 38 to get x
