Question

(^^tap) SOS having a bit of trouble with this problem​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -5.25 or 21/4

Step-by-step explanation:

When break the bracket out, if there is a minus sign in front of the bracket, when we break it out, the sign inside the bracket would become positive:

67 = 18 - (8x - 7)

67 = 18 - 8x - (-7)

67 = 18 - 8x + 7

67 = 18 + 7 - 8x

67 = 25 - 8x or rewrite for easier look: 25 - 8x = 67

25 - 8x = 67

8x = 25 - 67

8x = -42

Divide both side by 8, we got:

x = -42 / 8

x = -5.25 or 21/4

Hope this helped :3
