The answer is x equals -3
All you need to do is distribute the 8 into each of the terms in the parenthesis.
Your equation will then become
32x + 48y - 24z
Coefficients: 18
Constants: 7
Variable (if u need help on this): X
Where's the question? I'm happy to help!
How do I subtract a fraction from a whole number? Take the LCM of denominator of both the fractions (the denominator of whole number is one). Then, in both the numbers divide the LCM by the denominator and multiply the result by the numerator. Subtract the numbers in numerators and you will get your answer.
