Solve 8+7^2-2x/1=4x+2

$$\frac { 8 + 7 ^ { 2 } - 2 x } { 1 } = 4 x + 2$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{55}{6} = 9\frac{1}{6} \approx 9.166666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Calculate 7 to the power of 2 and get 49.

$$\frac{8+49-2x}{1}=4x+2$$

Add 8 and 49 to get 57.

$$\frac{57-2x}{1}=4x+2$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$57-2x=4x+2$$

Subtract 4x from both sides.

$$57-2x-4x=2$$

Combine -2x and -4x to get -6x.

$$57-6x=2$$

Subtract 57 from both sides.

$$-6x=2-57$$

Subtract 57 from 2 to get -55.

$$-6x=-55$$

Divide both sides by -6.

$$x=\frac{-55}{-6}$$

Fraction \frac{-55}{-6} can be simplified to \frac{55}{6} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{55}{6}$$
