    Your answer would be 4! Or if you want it in fraction form then it would be 7/3!

    7x-1/2 (8x+2) = 6

    We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

    7x-1/2 (8x+2) = 6

    Simplifying:

    7x-0.5 * (8x+2) = 6

    Reorder the terms in parentheses

    7x + (-4x-2) = 6

    Remove unnecessary parentheses

    +7x-4x-2=+6

    We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

    +7x-4x=+6+2

    We simplify left and right side of the equation.

    +3x=+8

    We divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get x.

    x=7/3

    In order to clear the fraction you would times it by 2 which will cancel out the 1/2 which leaves you with 7x - (4x+1) = 6 you would multiply everything in the parenthesis due to a negative 1 being in front of it which gives you 7x-4x-1=6 from their combines likes terms which is 3x-1=6 you would move the constant to the right and change the signing leaving you with 3x=7. then you would divide by 3 on each side and answer should be x = 3/7
