Question

$$-2,8(3x+7)-4,2=1,4$$

Solve for x

$x=-3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $-2,8$ by $3x+7$.

$$-8,4x-19,6-4,2=1,4$$

Subtract $4,2$ from $-19,6$ to get $-23,8$.

$$-8,4x-23,8=1,4$$

Add $23,8$ to both sides.

$$-8,4x=1,4+23,8$$

Add $1,4$ and $23,8$ to get $25,2$.

$$-8,4x=25,2$$

Divide both sides by $-8,4$.

$$x=\frac{25,2}{-8,4}$$

Expand $\frac{25,2}{-8,4}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$x=\frac{252}{-84}$$

Divide $252$ by $-84$ to get $-3$.

$$x=-3$$
