What is 4(x-7)=2(x+3)?

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

4(x−7)=2(x+3)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x−7)=2(x+3)

4x+−28=2x+6

4x−28=2x+6

Subtract 2x from both sides.

4x−28−2x=2x+6−2x

x−28=6

Add 28 to both sides.

2x−28+28=6+28

2x=34

Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2  =  34/2

x = 17

x = 17
