Mathematics

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

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

distribute

-2x-7 = 3*4x +3*7

-2x-7 = 12x+21

add 2x to each side

-2x-7+2x = 12x+2x+21

-7 = 14x+21

subtract 21 from each side

-7-21 = 14x+21-21

-28 = 14x

divide by 14

-28/14 = 14x/14

-2 =x

-2x - 7 = 3(4x + 7)      Distribute/multiply 3 into (4x + 7)

-2x - 7 = 12x + 21       Add 2x on both sides

-2x + 2x - 7 = 12x + 2x + 21

-7 = 14x + 21      Subtract 21 on both sides

-7 - 21 = 14x + 21 - 21

-28 = 14x     Divide 14 on both sides

-2 = x

Find the measure of x.​
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The answer is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is take 8x-4 and then combine it with 6x+8 like this...

8x-4=6x+8.

Then you have to add 4 to 8 and you will get 12.

Then you subtract 6 from 8 and get 2. So your equation will look like this...

2x=12

Then you divide 12 by 2 and you get 6 because 6 x 2 is 12.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!
