Answer:

  • 4
  • 16

Explanation:

For this to have infinitely many solutions, the left side and right side must simplify to the same expression. The left side is already simplified, so we need to find the right numbers for the right side.

Coefficient of x:

7x = __x + 3x

4x = __x . . . . . . subtract 3x; next divide by x

4 = __ . . . . . the required x-coefficient is 4

Constant term:

-8 = 8 -__

-16 = -__ . . . . . subtract 8

16 = __ . . . . . . multiply by -1

__

The numbers that go in the boxes are 4 and 16.
