7 - 7 (-8 + x) = - 14 + 4x How do you solve for x

Use distributive property first. Then combine like terms. Subtract the 4x from both sides. Then divide whatever you got and you get whatever x is. Hope it makes sense

First thing you need to do is distributive property and that will give you

7-56-7x=-14+4x then combine like terms which will then give you

-49-7x=-14+4x Next get your letters on the left do that by subtracting 4x which will give you - 49-11x=-14. After that you will add 49 to both sides which will give you

-11x = 35. Divide by - 11 to get x=3.18
