Q. Solve the following equation for x x . Express your answer in the simplest form.\newline7(8x+7)=2(6x+4) 7(-8 x+7)=2(6 x+4) \newline
  1. Distribute and Simplify: First, distribute the 77 into the terms inside the parentheses on the left side of the equation and the 22 into the terms inside the parentheses on the right side of the equation.7(8x+7)=2(6x+4)7(-8x + 7) = 2(6x + 4)56x+49=12x+8-56x + 49 = 12x + 8
  2. Move Terms: Next, move all the xx terms to one side of the equation and the constant terms to the other side by adding 56x56x to both sides and subtracting 88 from both sides.\newline56x+56x+49=12x+56x+88-56x + 56x + 49 = 12x + 56x + 8 - 8\newline49=68x49 = 68x
  3. Divide to Solve: Now, divide both sides of the equation by 6868 to solve for xx.\newline4968=68x68\frac{49}{68} = \frac{68x}{68}\newlinex=4968x = \frac{49}{68}
  4. Simplify Fraction: Finally, simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, 4949 and 6868 do not have any common factors other than 11, so the fraction is already in its simplest form.\newlinex=4968x = \frac{49}{68}
