Answer:
x = 11/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminate parentheses, add 16x, subtract 21.
7(3 -x) = 8(4 -2x) . . . . given
21 -7x = 32 -16x . . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property
9x +21 = 32 . . . . . . . . add 16x
9x = 11 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 21
x = 11/9 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x
This answer is going to be X=-5 because you are solving for X in the parentheses.
