4(x+9)=8x-7
Solve for x

I got three answers but they all equal to the same thing

Step-by-step explanation:

Exact Form: x = 43/4

Decimal Form: x = 10.75

Mixed Number Form: x = 10 3/4

x = 10.75

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x+9)=8x-7

Step 1: Distribute the 4 to the x and 9

4 * x = 4x

4 * 9 = 36

We now have 4x + 36 = 8x - 7

Step 2: add 7 to both sides

36 + 7 = 43

-7 + 7 cancels out

We now have 4x + 43 = 8x

Step 3 subtract 4x from both sides

4x - 4x cancels out

8x - 4x = 4x

We now have 4x = 43

step 4 divide both sides by 4

4x / 4 ( the 4s cancel out and we're left with x )

43/4 = 10.75

We're left with x = 10.75

true !
