Answer:x=11/14

Explanation:

3(2x+7)=8(4-x)

Multiply the first part of the equation

6x+21=
multiply the 2nd half of the equation

32-8x

6x+21=32-8x

Move the -8x to the left side of the equation making it a positive 8x

8x+6x+21=32

Move the 21 to the right side of the equation

8x+6x=32-21

Add the x’s on the left and subtract the 21 from 32 on the right

14x=11

Divide the 14 into the 11

x=11/14
