What is 37+8x=4 (7-x)

Simplifying

37 + 8x = 4 (7 + - 1x)

37 + 8x = (7 * 4 + - 1x * 4)

37 + 8x = (28 + - 4x)

Solving

37 + 8x = 28 + - 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4x' to each side of the equation.

37 + 8x + 4x = 28 + - 4x + 4x

Combine like terms: 8x + 4x = 12x

37 + 12x = 28 + - 4x + 4x

Combine like terms: - 4x + 4x = 0

37 + 12x = 28 + 0

37 + 12x = 28

Add '-37' to each side of the equation.

37 + - 37 + 12x = 28 + - 37

Combine like terms: 37 + - 37 = 0

0 + 12x = 28 + - 37

12x = 28 + - 37

Combine like terms: 28 + - 37 = - 9

12x = - 9

Divide each side by '12'.

x = - 0.75

Simplifying

x = - 0.75
