Answer:
x=-4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given an equation as
6(x+7)+4=-8(x-5)-2
and asked to solve for x
Simplify to get
Distribute 6 over x+7 and on right side -8 over x-5
6x+42+4 = -8x+40-2
Take -8x to left side to become +8x and 46 to right side to become -46
Grouping like terms
14x = 38-46 = -8
Divide by 14
x = -8/14 = -4/7
Since this is an equation, we get a single value for x
and answer is -4/7
