Answer:

No solution

Explanation:

The given equation is
3(x-8)=x+2x+7.

Kamal expanded first and simplified the RHS to get:
3x-24=3x+7

He then subtracted 3x from both sides of the equation to get: -24=7

Since the last statement is false, it means the given equation is inconsistent.

Hence the equation has no solution.
