\sf\purple{x= 7}


\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {STEP-BY-STEP\:\:EXPLANATION:}}}


➺\:6(x - 3) = 8(x - 4)


➺ \: 6x - 18 = 8x - 32


➺ \: 6x - 8x = - 32 + 18


➺ \: - 2x = - 14


➺ \: x = ( - 14)/( - 2)


➺ \: x = 7

Therefore, the value of
x is 7.


\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {TO\:VERIFY :}}}


➺ \: 6(x - 3) = 8(x - 4)


➺ \: 6(7 - 3) = 8(7 - 4)


➺ \: 6 * 4 = 8 * 3


➺ \: 24 = 24

➺ L. H. S. = R. H. S.

Hence verified.

Answer:

7=x

Explanation:

6(x-3)=8(x-4)

Distribute

6x -18 = 8x-32

Subtract 6x from each side

6x-18 -6x = 8x-32-8x

-18 = 2x-32

Add 32 to each side

-18+32 = 2x-32+32

14 = 2x

Divide by 2

14/2 =2x/2

7=x
