Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
-33 -7x = -2(x+6) -8x
We solve the brackets first so we get,
-33 -7x = -2x -12 -8x
Next add -2x and -8x on the right side
-33 -7x = -10x -12
Bring all the things in the right side to the left
In this process the sign changes from negative to positive so you get
-33 -7x + 10x +12 = 0
Rearrange the terms to make the simplification easy
-33 +12 -7x +10x = 0
Simplify-33+12 and -7x+10x so you get
-21 + 3x = 0
Take -21 to the right side of the equation so
3x =21
Divide both sides by 3 to get the value of x
x=7
