Solve the following equation. Then place the correct number in the box provided.

4 - 7x + 10 = 15 - 6x - 8

3 (x - 2) + 4 (2x - 6) = 6 (x - 4) + 8 (2x + 1) - - distribute through the parenthesis 3x - 6 + 8x - 24 = 6x - 24 + 16x + 8 - - combine like terms 11x - 30 = 22x - 16 - - subtract 22x from both sides 11x - 22x - 30 = - 16 - - add 30 to both sides 11x - 22x = 30 - 16 - - combine like terms - 11x = 14 - - divide by - 11 x = - 14/11 x = - 1 3/11

In this equation, x = 7.
