Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
8x4=32
-x x8=-8x
32-8x=7x+2
+8x on both sides
32=15x+2
32-2=30
30=15x
divided by 2
2=x
Answer:
2[tex]\frac{4}{15}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First factor our the (4-x): (8*4)(8*x)
Then we have 36 - 8x = 7x + 2
Isolate the x:
32 -2 = 8x + 7x
Simplify both sides:
30 = 15x
Divide both sides by 15
[tex]\frac{30}{15}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{15x}{15}[/tex]
Simplify further if necessary:
x = 2
