Answer:

Explanation:

First distribute the -3 and the 8

Combine like terms

Move the -3x to the other side by adding 3x to each side

Now move the 7 to the other side by subtracting 7 from each side

Finally, divide both sides by 4 to get x

-3(x-1) + 8(32-3) = x + 7

-3x +3 + 256 - 24 = x + 7

-3x +235 = x + 7

235 = 4x + 7

228 = 4x

57 = x
