20%283%2B4x%29-7%288-6x%29=150 Start with the given equation.


60%2B80x-56%2B42x=150 Distribute.


122x%2B4=150 Combine like terms on the left side.


122x=150-4 Subtract 4 from both sides.


122x=146 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28146%29%2F%28122%29 Divide both sides by 122 to isolate x.


x=73%2F61 Reduce.
