How to solve this equation 8(4-x)= 7x+2

Answer 1

8(4-x)=7x+2
32-8x=7x+2
-8x-7x=2-32
-15x=-30
x=-30:(-15)
x=2
answer:x= 2 

Answer 2

8 ( 4 - x ) = 7x + 2
32 - 8x = 7x + 2
      -7x     -7x
--------------------------
32 - 15x = 2
-32           -32
----------------------------
-15x = -30
/-15      /-15

x = 2.
