Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
8 ( 4 - x ) = 7x + 2
(Expand brackets
32 - 8x = 7x + 2
(-7x from both sides)
-15x = -30
(Divide by -15 from both sides)
x=2
x = 2
8(4 - x) = 7x + 2
Use the distributive property on the left side.
Subtract 7x from both sides.
32 - 15x = 2
Subtract 32 from both sides.
Divide both sides by -15.
