Question

8(x + 1) - 3(x + 4) = 7(2 - x)
x = -1 1/2
x = -1 1/4
x = 1 1/4
x = 1 1/2

Answer 1

8x+8-3x-12=14-7x
5x-4=14-7x
5x+7x=14+4
12x=18
x=18/12
x=3/2
x= 1(1/2)

Answer 2

x = 1 1/2

8x + 8 - 3x + 12 = 14 - 7x
8x - 3x - 8 + 12
5x + 4
5x+4 = 14 - 7x
5x = 10 - 7x
5x + 7x = 10
12x = 10
12/10 = x
x= 6/5
6/5 = 1 and 1/2
