Answer: x= 2
Step-by-step explanation:
8 (4 - x) = 7 x + 2
Distribute 8 through parenthesis
32- 8x = 7x + 2
Move variable to left and change sign
Move constant to right and change sign
-8 - 7x + 32 = 2
Collect like terms
-15x = 2 - 32
-15x = -30
Divide both sides by -15
-15/-15 -30/-15
x= 2
Hope this helps :)
