Question

$$8x+4=43(x-1+7$$

Solve for x

$x = -\frac{254}{35} = -7\frac{9}{35} \approx -7.257142857$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $-1$ and $7$ to get $6$.

$$8x+4=43\left(x+6\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $43$ by $x+6$.

$$8x+4=43x+258$$

Subtract $43x$ from both sides.

$$8x+4-43x=258$$

Combine $8x$ and $-43x$ to get $-35x$.

$$-35x+4=258$$

Subtract $4$ from both sides.

$$-35x=258-4$$

Subtract $4$ from $258$ to get $254$.

$$-35x=254$$

Divide both sides by $-35$.

$$x=\frac{254}{-35}$$

Fraction $\frac{254}{-35}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{254}{35}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{254}{35}$$
