Solve 4x-4/2+7x-9/8=-6

$$\frac { 4 x - 4 } { 2 } + \frac { 7 x - 9 } { 8 } = - 6$$

Solve for x

$$x=-1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 8, the least common multiple of 2,8.

$$4\left(4x-4\right)+7x-9=-48$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 4x-4.

$$16x-16+7x-9=-48$$

Combine 16x and 7x to get 23x.

$$23x-16-9=-48$$

Subtract 9 from -16 to get -25.

$$23x-25=-48$$

Add 25 to both sides.

$$23x=-48+25$$

Add -48 and 25 to get -23.

$$23x=-23$$

Divide both sides by 23.

$$x=\frac{-23}{23}$$

Divide -23 by 23 to get -1.

$$x=-1$$
