Answer:

8

First, distribute 4 into the parentheses.

You would get :

4x + 28 - 7x = 4

Next, combine like terms.

You would get:

-3x + 28 = 4

Now, subtract 28 from 4.

You would get:

-3x = -24

Lastly, to find x by itself, divide both sides by -3.

x = 8

Hope this helps! Good luck :)

4=4(x+7) -7x
4=4x+28-7x
4= -3x+28
-24= -3x
x=8
