Solve 2x 8=x/2-7 - ScanMath

Evaluate

2 x \times 8 = \frac{x}{2} - 7

Multiply the terms

16 x = \frac{x}{2} - 7

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

16 x \times 2 = (\frac{x}{2} - 7) \times 2

Simplify the equation

32 x = (\frac{x}{2} - 7) \times 2

Simplify the equation

More Steps

32 x = x - 14

Move the variable to the left side

32 x - x = - 14

Subtract the terms

More Steps

31 x = - 14

Divide both sides

\frac{31 x}{31} = \frac{- 14}{31}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 14}{31}

Solution

x = - \frac{14}{31}
