Question

4x - 7 (2 - x) = 3x + 2

Answer 1

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x−7(2−x)=3x+2

4x+(−7)(2)+(−7)(−x)=3x+2(Distribute)

4x+−14+7x=3x+2

(4x+7x)+(−14)=3x+2(Combine Like Terms)

11x+−14=3x+2

11x−14=3x+2

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

11x−14−3x=3x+2−3x

8x−14=2

Step 3: Add 14 to both sides.

8x−14+14=2+14

8x=16

Step 4: Divide both sides by 8.

x=2
