X =

ASAP please

Answer 1

The answer is x=1/3

Explanation:

−8(x+7)=−176x

(−8)(x)+(−8)(7)=−176x(Distribute)

−8x+−56=−176x

−8x−56=−176x

Step 2: Add 176x to both sides.

−8x−56+176x=−176x+176x

168x−56=0

Step 3: Add 56 to both sides.

168x−56+56=0+56

168x=56

Step 4: Divide both sides by 168.
