Rewrite! Write an new and equivalent equation that is easier to solve

Marysya12 [62]

$\huge\underline{\red{A}\blue{n}\pink{s}\purple{w}\orange{e}\green{r} -}$

Given - an equation in a standard form

To do - simplify the equation so as to obtain an easier one

Since the equation provided isn't in it's general form , let's first convert it ~

General form of a Linear equation -

$\bold{ax + b = 0}$

The equation after getting converted will be as follows ~

$- 7 + ( \frac{4x + 2}{2} ) = 8 \\ \\ \implies \: \frac{ - 14 + 4x + 2}{2} = 8 \\ \\ \implies \: - 14 + 4x + 2 = 16 \\ \\ \implies \: 4x = 16 + 14 - 2 \\ \\ \implies \: 4x = 28 \\ \\\bold{ General \: form \: \dashrightarrow \: 4x - 28 = 0}$

hope helpful ~
