Question 171140
</pre><font size=4><b>
Given:{{{(7x/8)- (4)= x}}}
Combine similar terms (remember to change sign):
{{{-4=x-(7/8)x}}}}, Get LCD to subtract
{{{-4=(8x-7x)/8}}}, cross multiply
{{{-4*8=8x-7x}}}
{{{highlight(-32=x)}}}, Answer
Check by going back to the given:
{{{(7/8)(-32)-4=-32}}}
{{{(7/cross(8)1)(cross(-32)4)-4=-32}}}
{{{-28-4=-32}}}
{{{-32=-32}}}, good!
Thank you,
