Solve for x : -2x-7(-x-3)+4=4(x+7) Answer: x=

Distribute and Simplify: First, distribute the -7 into the parentheses on the left side and the 4 into the parentheses on the right side. -2x - 7(-x) - 7(-3) + 4 = 4x + 4(7) -2x + 7x + 21 + 4 = 4x + 28Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation. (-2x + 7x) + (21 + 4) = 4x + 28 5x + 25 = 4x + 28Isolate x Terms: Subtract 4x from both sides to get all x terms on one side. 5x - 4x + 25 = 4x - 4x + 28 x + 25 = 28Solve for x: Subtract 25 from both sides to solve for x. x + 25 - 25 = 28 - 25 x = 3

Q. Solve for

x

\newline

-2 x-7(-x-3)+4=4(x+7)

\newline

Answer:

x=

Distribute and Simplify: First, distribute the $-7$ into the parentheses on the left side and the $4$ into the parentheses on the right side. $\newline$ $-2x - 7(-x) - 7(-3) + 4 = 4x + 4(7)$ $\newline$ $-2x + 7x + 21 + 4 = 4x + 28$
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation. $\newline$ $(-2x + 7x) + (21 + 4) = 4x + 28$ $\newline$ $5x + 25 = 4x + 28$
Isolate x Terms: Subtract $4x$ from both sides to get all x terms on one side. $\newline$ $5x - 4x + 25 = 4x - 4x + 28$ $\newline$ $x + 25 = 28$
Solve for x: Subtract $25$ from both sides to solve for $x$ . $\newline$ $x + 25 - 25 = 28 - 25$ $\newline$ $x = 3$
