Question 506514
{{{8-3(4x-2)=35-5x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8-12x+6=35-5x}}} Distribute.



{{{-12x+14=35-5x}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-12x=35-5x-14}}} Subtract {{{14}}} from both sides.



{{{-12x+5x=35-14}}} Add {{{5x}}} to both sides.



{{{-7x=35-14}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-7x=21}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(21)/(-7)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-7}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-3}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-3}}}
