Question 959723
{{{7x+8=4-2x}}} Start with the given equation.



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



{{{7x+2x=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=(-4)/(9)}}} Divide both sides by {{{9}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.
