2/1 is the answer that you’re looking for
Answer:
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
4(x−7)=2(x+3)
Simplify both sides of the equation.
4(x−7)=2(x+3)
4x+−28=2x+6
4x−28=2x+6
Subtract 2x from both sides.
4x−28−2x=2x+6−2x
x−28=6
Add 28 to both sides.
2x−28+28=6+28
2x=34
Divide both sides by 2.
2x/2 = 34/2
x = 17
4.8 pounds, set it up as 4 over ten times x over 12, 4 times 12 divided by ten equals 4.8
