Answer:
X = -16/7
Explanation:
Multiply the numbers
4 x 2 + 8 = -7x
8 + 8 = -7x
Add the numbers
8 + 8 = -7x
16= -7x
Divide both sides by the same factor
16= -7x
16 divided bu -7x and -7x divided by -7x
Simplify
-16 divided by 7 not negative 7 and -7 divided by -7
Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator
cancel out -7 divided by -7 and you get -16/7 left
so, therefore x= -16/7
