Let x= original number
equation: 2x+24=2/7 x
move 2x over to the other side of the equation to get 24=-12/7 x. Then, multiply both sides of the equation by -7/12 to isolate the variable.
The final answer should be x=-14

Answer:

$x=-1,\:x=-7,\:x=i,\:x=-i$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the equation

$x^4+8x^3+8x^2+8x+7=0$

Solving

$x^4+8x^3+8x^2+8x+7$

$\mathrm{Factor\:}x^4+8x^3+8x^2+8x+7:\quad \left(x+1\right)\left(x+7\right)\left(x^2+1\right)$

As

$\mathrm{Use\:the\:rational\:root\:theorem}$

$a_0=7,\:\quad a_n=1$

$\mathrm{The\:dividers\:of\:}a_0:\quad 1,\:7,\:\quad \mathrm{The\:dividers\:of\:}a_n:\quad 1$

$\mathrm{Therefore,\:check\:the\:following\:rational\:numbers:\quad }\pm \frac{1,\:7}{1}$

$-\frac{1}{1}\mathrm{\:is\:a\:root\:of\:the\:expression,\:so\:factor\:out\:}x+1$

$=\left(x+1\right)\frac{x^4+8x^3+8x^2+8x+7}{x+1}...[A]$

Solving

$\frac{x^4+8x^3+8x^2+8x+7}{x+1}$

$=x^3+7x^2+x+7$

Putting $\frac{x^4+8x^3+8x^2+8x+7}{x+1}$ = $x^3+7x^2+x+7$ in equation [A]

So,

$\left(x+1\right)\frac{x^4+8x^3+8x^2+8x+7}{x+1}...[A]$

$=\left(x+1\right)x^3+7x^2+x+7$

As

$x^3+7x^2+x+7=\left(x+7\right)\left(x^2+1\right)$

So,

Equation [A] becomes

$=\left(x+1\right)\left(x+7\right)\left(x^2+1\right)$

So, the polynomial equation becomes

$\left(x+1\right)\left(x+7\right)\left(x^2+1\right)=0$

$\mathrm{Using\:the\:Zero\:Factor\:Principle:\quad \:If}\:ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)$ $\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x+1=0:\quad x=-1$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x+7=0:\quad x=-7$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x^2+1=0:\quad x=i,\:x=-i$

$\mathrm{The\:solutions\:are}$

$x=-1,\:x=-7,\:x=i,\:x=-i$
