Question 117024
2[4 – 2(3 – x)] – 1 = 4[2(4x – 3) + 7] – 25
Simplify the inner parentheses: 

2[4 – 6+2x] – 1 = 4[8x-6 + 7] – 25 
Combine like terms in the parentheses:

2[-2+2x] -1 = 4[8x+1] - 25
Simplify the parentheses again:

-4+4x-1 = 32x+4-25
Combine like terms on each side:
4x-3 = 32x-21

Subtract 4x from each side to get:
-3 = 28x-21

Add 21 to each side to get
28x = 18

Divide each side by 28 to get
x = 18/28

Reduce the fraction:
x = 9/14
