Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{7 - 3x}{2} = 8[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 2, to eliminate the denominator on the left-hand side:
[tex](2) [\frac{7 - 3x}{2}] = 8 (2)[/tex]
7 - 3x = 16
Next, subtract both sides by 7:
7 - 7 - 3x = 16 - 7
-3x = 9
Divide both sides by -3 to solve for x:
[tex]\frac{-3x}{-3} = \frac{9}{-3}[/tex]
x = -3
