What is the answer to
8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)

x=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you distribute the 8 over the (x-3) giving you 8x-24. Do the same for 2x and (4-17). That should give you 8x-34x.

Your equation should look like : 8x-24+7=8x-34x

Next try to balance out your equation. You want your x's all by themselves in order to solve.

The 8x's cancel eachother out so you have -24+7= -34x.

Add the like terms of -24 and 7 to get -17.

Equation: -17= -34x

Divide both sides by -34 to get x by itself.

-17/-34 = x

Reduce by dividing the numerator and denominator by 17 to get -1/-2

Since they are both negative the fraction turns positive.

So the answer should be x=1/2
