Question

I can't figure out this equation. Can someone help me?
4x−7= 8x + 33

Answer 1

Explanation:

4x-7=8x+33

-7-33=8x-4x

-40= 4x

Divide both sides by 4

-10=x

• therefore
• x=-10

Answer 2

x = -10

Explanation:

Subtract 4x on both sides

4x-7 = 8x+33

(4x-7)-4x = (8x+33)-4x

-7 = 4x+33

Subtract 33 on both sides

-7 = 4x+33

-7-33 = (4x+33)-33

-40 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

-40 = 4x

-40/4 = 4x/4

-10 = x

Therefore, x=-10
