Answer:

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.
