Question

Solve the equation for X.

(x - 4) - (x + 7) = 8x please help me solve this somebody I don't understand how​

Answer 1

x = -
`(11)/(8)`

Explanation:

Given

(x - 4) - (x + 7 ) = 8x

Distribute parenthesis noting second is distributed by - 1

x - 4 - x - 7 = 8x ← simplify left side

- 11 = 8x ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = -
`(11)/(8)`
