    Simplifying

    7 (42x + - 8) = 17 (49 + x)

    Reorder the terms:

    7 (-8 + 42x) = 17 (49 + x)

    (-8 * 7 + 42x * 7) = 17 (49 + x)

    (-56 + 294x) = 17 (49 + x)

    -56 + 294x = (49 * 17 + x * 17)

    -56 + 294x = (833 + 17x)

    Solving

    -56 + 294x = 833 + 17x

    Solving for variable 'x'.

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

    Add '-17x' to each side of the equation.

    -56 + 294x + - 17x = 833 + 17x + - 17x

    Combine like terms: 294x + - 17x = 277x

    -56 + 277x = 833 + 17x + - 17x

    Combine like terms: 17x + - 17x = 0

    -56 + 277x = 833 + 0

    -56 + 277x = 833

    Add '56' to each side of the equation.

    -56 + 56 + 277x = 833 + 56

    Combine like terms: - 56 + 56 = 0

    0 + 277x = 833 + 56

    277x = 833 + 56

    Combine like terms: 833 + 56 = 889

    277x = 889

    Divide each side by '277'.

    x = 3.209386282

    Simplifying

    x = 3.209386282
