Simplifying
37 + 8x = 4(7 + -1x)
37 + 8x = (7 * 4 + -1x * 4)
37 + 8x = (28 + -4x)
Solving
37 + 8x = 28 + -4x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '4x' to each side of the equation.
37 + 8x + 4x = 28 + -4x + 4x
Combine like terms: 8x + 4x = 12x
37 + 12x = 28 + -4x + 4x
Combine like terms: -4x + 4x = 0
37 + 12x = 28 + 0
37 + 12x = 28
Add '-37' to each side of the equation.
37 + -37 + 12x = 28 + -37
Combine like terms: 37 + -37 = 0
0 + 12x = 28 + -37
12x = 28 + -37
Combine like terms: 28 + -37 = -9
12x = -9
Divide each side by '12'.
x = -0.75
Simplifying
x = -0.75

Step-by-step explanation:
If this is on Edginuity, highlight the whole question and picture, but not the answer options, and enter it into your search bar. that is what I do and it works
Given:

I have 1200 metres more to walk than when I have 20% of the walk remaining.
To find:
The distance from home to school.

Let x be the distance from home to school.
I have already walked 20% of the way to school and i have 1200 metres more to walk than when I have 20% of the walk remaining.
It means 1200 is 
of the total distance from home to school.
Therefore, the distance from home to school is 2000 metres.
