7x%2B8=4-2x Start with the given equation.


7x=4-2x-8 Subtract 8 from both sides.


7x%2B2x=4-8 Add 2x to both sides.


9x=4-8 Combine like terms on the left side.


9x=-4 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-4%29%2F%289%29 Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x.

Answer:

So the solution is x=-4%2F9
