Answer :

Answer:

The solution to the equation is

x = 4

Explanation:

Given the equation:

-2(x - 4) = 7x - 28

To solve for x,

Expand the bracket on the left-hand side

-2x + 8 = 7x - 28

Add 2x to both sides of the equation

-2x + 8 + 2x = 7x - 28 + 2x

8 = 9x - 28

Add 28 to both sides

8 + 28 = 9x - 28 + 28

36 = 9x

Divide both sides by 9

36/9 = 9x/9

4 = x

Thererfore, x = 4
