Question

Can anyone help me with this I’m stuck and this is pretty difficult.

Answer 1

x=-1

Explanation:

Given the equation:

`$$ 24=4(x-7)+8(1-6 x) $$`

First, expand the brackets:

`24=4x-28+8-48x`

Next, collect like terms and simplify:

`\begin{gathered} 24=4x-48x-28+8 \\ 24=-20-44x \\ \text{ Add 20 to both sides} \\ 24+20=-44x \\ 44=-44x \\ \text{ Divide both sides by -44} \\ (44)/(-44)=(-44x)/(-44) \\ x=-1 \end{gathered}`

The solution to the equation is -1.
