Answer:

x = 2.8

Explanation:


7\left(-2x+4\right)=-4x


-14x+28=-4x


\mathrm{Subtract\:}28\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}


-14x+28-28=-4x-28


\mathrm{Simplify}


-14x=-4x-28


\mathrm{Add\:}4x\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}


-14x+4x=-4x-28+4x


\mathrm{Simplify}


-10x=-28


\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-10


(-10x)/(-10)=(-28)/(-10)


x=(14)/(5)


x=2.8
