Answer:
The answer is x = -32
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the value of x, e must first distribute the 6 into the parenthesis.
6(x - 7) = 8x + 22
6x - 42 = 8x + 22
Now we will add/subtract values so that all x values are on the right and all number values are on the left.
6x - 42 = 8x + 22
-42 = 2x + 22
-64 = 2x
Now to get the final answer, divide both sides by 2.
-32 = x
