Answer 3

the top one.

Answer 4

1.multiply both sides by 8
2. multiply both sides by 2

Answer 5

how would i do that?

Answer 6

\[\frac{x-7}{8} \times 8 = \frac{7}{2} \times 8\]
8 will get cancelled
\[x-7 = \frac{56}{2}\]
Now multiply both sides by 2\[(x-7)\times2 = \frac{56}{2} \times 2\]
\[2(x-7) =56\]
