x=1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First you distribute the 8 over the (x-3) giving you 8x-24. Do the same for 2x and (4-17). That should give you 8x-34x.
Your equation should look like : 8x-24+7=8x-34x
Next try to balance out your equation. You want your x's all by themselves in order to solve.
The 8x's cancel eachother out so you have - 24+7 = - 34x.
Add the like terms of - 24 and 7 to get - 17.
Equation: - 17 = - 34x
Divide both sides by - 34 to get x by itself.
-17/-34 = x
Reduce by dividing the numerator and denominator by 17 to get - 1/-2
Since they are both negative the fraction turns positive.
So the answer should be x=1/2
