Solve 7(x-2)=4x 8

Evaluate

7 (x - 2) = 4 x \times 8

Multiply the terms

7 (x - 2) = 32 x

Expand the expression

More Steps

7 x - 14 = 32 x

Move the variable to the left side

7 x - 14 - 32 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 25 x - 14 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 25 x = 0 + 14

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 25 x = 14

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

25 x = - 14

Divide both sides

\frac{25 x}{25} = \frac{- 14}{25}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 14}{25}

Solution

x = - \frac{14}{25}

Alternative Form

x = - 0.56
