Answer:

x=-44

Explanation:

3/4(1/4x+8)-(1/2x+2)=3/8(4-x)-1/4

3/16x+24/4-1/2x-2=12/8-3/8x-1/4

3/16x+6-1/2x-2=3/2-3/8x-1/4

3/16x-1/2x+4=3/2-3/8x-1/4

-5/16x+4=-3/8x+5/4

Add 3/8x to both sides

-5/16x+4+3/8x=-3/8x+5/4+3/8x

1/16x+4=5/4

Subtract 4 from both sides

1/16x+4-4=5/4-4

1/16x=-11/4

Multiply both sides by 16

1/16x(16)=-11/4(16)

x=-44
