Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
7(2-x)(41)
8(x+1)-3(x+4)= ----------------
3
Simplify: (Show steps)
-287 574
5x-4= ---------- x+ --------
3 3
Step2: Add 287/3x to both sides.
287 -287 574 287
5x-4+ -------x= ----------x+ -------+ -------x
3 3 3 3
302/3x-4=574/3
Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.
302/3x-4+4=574/3+4
302/3x=586/3
Step 4: Multiply both sides by 3/302.
(3/302)(302/3x)=(3/302)(586/3)
296
So your answer would be x= --------
151
