Answer 2

Hey!

---------------------------------------------------

Solution:

4(8x + 7) = 17x - 8

32x - 28 = 17x - 8

32x - 28 + 28 = 17x - 8 + 28

32x = 17x + (-36)

32x - 17x = 17x - (36) - 17x

15x = -36

15x/15 = -36/15

x = -36/15 or -12/5

---------------------------------------------------

Answer:

x = -12/5
