x = -11/14

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 3 - 3x = 4(x-2)

1. Distribute

7x + 3 - 3x = 4x -8

2. Combine like terms

10x + 3 = 4x - 8

3. Continue combining

14x + 3 = -8

4. Subtract 3 from both sides

14x = -11

5. Divide 14 on both sides

x = -11/14 (fraction)

I think I did something wrong but if it's right, I hope it helps a little!
