Answer:

x = 5/33 or 0.151515151

Explanation:

7(-6x-2) = 8(3x-4)

step 1: simplify the equation.

-42x - 14 = 24x - 4

step 2: isolate the variable (using the balance method).

-42x - 14 + 14 = 24x - 4 + 14

-42x = 24x + 10

-42x - 24x = 24x - 24x + 10

-66x = 10

step 3: solve for x.

x = 10 ÷ -66

x = 5/33
