7(x - 2) = 3(x + 4) solve the following equation. then enter your answer in the space provided using mixed number format.

In mixed number format: 6 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the following equation: 7(x - 2) = 3(x + 4), first we need to apply the distributive property:

7(x - 2) = 3(x + 4) → 7x -14 = 3x + 12

Solving for 'x' → 4x = 26 → x = 6.5

→ In mixed number format: 6 1/2

For this case we must solve the following equation:

Applying distributive property to the terms within the parenthesis we have:

We subtract 3x on both sides of the equation:

Adding 14 to both sides of the equation:

Dividing between 4 on both sides of the equation:

7,24
