Solve -8(x-6)+4=-7(x+8)

$$- 8 ( x - 6 ) + 4 = - 7 ( x + 8 )$$

Solve for x

$$x=108$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -8 by x-6.

$$-8x+48+4=-7\left(x+8\right)$$

Add 48 and 4 to get 52.

$$-8x+52=-7\left(x+8\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply -7 by x+8.

$$-8x+52=-7x-56$$

Add 7x to both sides.

$$-8x+52+7x=-56$$

Combine -8x and 7x to get -x.

$$-x+52=-56$$

Subtract 52 from both sides.

$$-x=-56-52$$

Subtract 52 from -56 to get -108.

$$-x=-108$$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$x=108$$
