Answer:
x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x+7) 2x + 20 - 2 = x+4(2x + 8) start by distributing
2(x+7) would be 2x+14
4(2x+8) would be 8x+32
2x+14 x 2x + 20 - 2 = x + 8x + 32 now combine like terms
2x and 2x can be combined on the left side
x and 8x can be combined on the right side
4x + 14 + 20 - 2 = x + 8x + 32
4x + 32 = 9x + 32 you can now solve this equation
start by subtracting 4x on both sides
32 = 5x +32 now subtract 32 on both sides
0 = 5x so x = 0
