I'm not sure if this is a multiple choice question, so I will just solve the equation.
-5 (4x - 7) + 8 = 3x
-5 (4x + (-7)) + 8 = 3x
1. Distributive Property of Multiplication
(-5)(4x) + (-5)(-7) + 8 = 3x
2. Simplify
-20x + (-35) + 8 = 3x
3. Simplify again
-20x - 27 = 3x
4. Add 27 to both sides and then subtract 3x from both sides to get all the x's by themselves on the same side
-20x - 27 + 27 = 3x + 27
-20x - 3x = 3x + 27 - 3x
5. Simplify
-23x = 27
6. Divide
-23x / -23 = 27 / -23
7. Simplify
Answer:
<h2>
x = - 27/23 ≈ -1.17</h2>
Hope this helps!

Answer:
201.5x-y=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
−6x−2y=−1618x+6y=48
Collect like terms
-6x+1618x-2y-6y=-48
1612x-8y=-48
Divide through by 8
1612x/8-8y/8=-48/8
201.5x-y=-6
You need to be clearer on what the "roots" are, I haven't learned that term ever, but I think I know what you mean...
